DESCRIPTION:
When the animals touch down and ride through "grand museums," horses leap out of paintings to run with them. One day the lad awakens "on the other side of sleep" (Has he died?) to find a golden horse, which carries the boy through the sky. Rising up "beyond the borders of time," the horses are "all free together in one great wild race under the pale, white moon." First-time illustrator Kapas's paintings look frozen, even though they are meticulously detailed and imaginatively conceived. Barefoot and ragged, the homeless, solitary Cowboy Kid plays in a city dump, riding a "horse" made from a rusty oil drum and a mop. Due out simultaneously is a French-language edition, entitled L'enfant cow-boy ($16.95 ISBN 0-88776-511-4). (May) Copyright 2000 Cahne
A beautiful book about freedom and the urge to break away for the child in everyone.. A magnificent stallion carries him to the heavens on a magical ride. They call him the Cowboy Kid, the strange boy who lassoes trash cans and whinnies like a horse. Soon they are joined by other horses, leaping from paintings, jumping down from stone pedestals in parks, and breaking free of merry-go-rounds – and they lead a riotous stampede of marble, wood, and paint through the streets of the town and beyond. He dreams of escaping the city, of riding away on a golden steed of his own. And then, one wonderful night, the Cowboy Kid’s dreams come true
The Cowboy Kid Debbie Baxter A story about a boy who roams the streets of the city in reality but in his imagination he's a cowboy in the Wild West. One day his dreams come true and a beautiful horse appears to him and takes him on a magical trip. Wonderful story about imagination and the power it has to transport you. The illustrations (many 2 full pages) are stunning.. One of the best Ayse Buchara Children's books come and go. Then they become collector's objects and cannot be paid any more. Makes me sad. The Cowboy Kid is such a good book to read. So many kids are born since it is out of print. I love this book. It helps a child to find out fantasy is a great power.L'Enfant Cowboy (French Edition)
