From the Publisher:
In this rollicking read-aloud Western, meet Joanna and Susanna, the ultimate cowgirls!

What if cows could be cowgirls? One day in the pasture, just chewing on cud, Joanna and Susanna imagine themselves as the fun-loving Buckamoo Girls. The Buckamoo Girls ride through the Wild West-roping steers, sharing a meal out in the open air, and dancing "by the light of the mooooon."

This hilarious daydream of a picture book, created by two Westerners, shows that there are few things better than a horse ride under a big sky, and a friend to share it with.
