内容简介

Texas Jack, the long-eared jackrabbit, tells the story of how rodeos came about in this latest full-colour book by author/illustrator James Rice. In this tale young readers learn about the three R's -- 'ropin', 'ridin', and 'rasslin'. Rodeo got its start in the days of roundups and big cattle drives. This book tells about life on the trail and how roping calves, bareback riding, and bulldogging became rodeo events. Using colourful South-western cowboy vernacular, the book explains the hard-working, competitive lifestyle of cowboys and how rodeos allowed them to test their skills or simply prove their toughness. James Rice's lively illustrations make this a beautiful as well as educational addition to any child's library.
