A stuck-up cowboy thinks he's pretty special and looks down on others to the point of becoming quite mean. But a little girl does what the grown-ups can't: she knock him down a peg or two and helps him put a smile back on his face. It's a longer read-aloud best for primary and up, with large painted illustrations that give a wild west feel. A few LOL moments make this fun while still getting a good message across.

A new version with a nod to the classic poem, "A Visit from Saint Nicholas."
