Howdy, partners! Time to laugh along with Cowgirl Kate and Cocoa in two easy-to-read stories. In the first, Cocoa does his best to negotiate for new shoes. But he wants cowboy boots instead of horseshoes! Next, the comical pair learn what it really means to work together "through thick and thin" when a wayward calf is on the loose. Familiar words, simple sentences, and lots of spirited banter keep Level 2 readers moving right along.
