With sophisticated and detailed art and a counting/finding game on each double-page spread, this picture book for young children displays various elements of a Texas cattle ranch. Enter the corral, the bunkhouse, and the cookshack, and join the circle of hungry cowboys at the chuck wagon, to see how each place looks and to learn what goes on there. And don't forget the animals-from the bright-eyed horned toads and comical roadrunners to majestic longhorns and breathtaking quarterhorses, a final birds-eye-view painting shows all the elements on the ranch.

'Munro combines a seek-and-find component with a serviceable tour of a modern ranch. Each spread describes a physical area of the establishment (range, creek, corral and roundup, barn and tack room, etc.), provides a single paragraph on its function, and concludes with a list of objects to find in the picture (answer keys are appended)......This book provides a simple, direct, and practical description of a rural vocation still very much alive if foreign to the majority of city kids.
