Giddy Up, Daddy! (Troy Cummings)

 


This comes across at first as a book too young for my class, but as the story went on, everyone was drawn in and really enjoyed it (judging by the laughing and engaged listeners!). Fits well with our imagination unit.

Goodreads says:

Giddy-Up, Daddy! is the newest imaginative picture book from celebrated cartoonist Troy Cummings. When rootin'-tootin' Daddy the "horse" is eyeballed by some rotten rustlers, it's all the kids can do to keep him out of the big lugs' lasso. What follows is a quick detour through a rodeo, a trip across a circus high wire, and a near-miss in the Rockies, till the kids don Mounty gear and capture the bad guys for good. A celebratory parade at sundown leads the kids and Daddy back home into Mom's waiting arms.
