About this ebook
A girl and her dog are happier than two buttons on a new shirt―until her new baby brother shows up. A rip-roarin’ sibling tale for storytime!
★ “A rootin’-tootin’ tale that won’t fail to quick-draw a smile.” ―Booklist, STARRED REVIEW
“Giddy-up, big sisters!” ―Kirkus Reviews
Rodeo Red and her hound dog Rusty are happier than two buttons on a new shirt—until Sideswiping Slim shows up.
Red is sure that anyone who hollers that much will be hauled to the edge of town and told to skedaddle, but her parents seem smitten with the new addition to the family. So when that scallywag sets his eye on Rusty, Rodeo Red had better figure out a way to save her best friend in the whole world. Can a cowgirl make a bargain with a varmint?
Author Maripat Perkins pairs Old West lingo with big laughs to tell this laugh-out-loud sibling story. Adorable illustrations by Caldecott Honor winner Molly Idle add to the fun.

Reviews for Rodeo Red

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Rodeo Red and her canine pal, Rusty the stuffed dog, are inseparable. Until, that is, the day that Sideswiping Sam - AKA, Rodeo's squalling baby brother - steals the pooch and refuses to return him. Rodeo does everything she can to get her plaything back, but until her Aunt Sal sends her a new plaything, she has nothing with which she can bargain...The common childhood experience of adjusting to a new sibling and getting into a conflict with them over a plaything is given a western flavor in Rodeo Red, which is author Maripat Perkins' picture-book debut. The language here is inventive and fun, provided one doesn't mind a little dialect and slang, and the artwork by Molly Idle, who was awarded a Caldecott Honor for her Flora and the Flamingos, is colorful and cute. My only real qualm is that I think the mom (I mean Sheriff) is a little unsympathetic in the story, in that she allows the baby to steal Rodeo's boon companion, and makes no effort to set things right. Leaving that aside, this is one I would recommend to anyone looking for entertaining new sibling and/or sibling rivalry stories for younger children.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Fun text and appealing illustrations. Good for read aloud.
