review 1: What a great book. Alice is from Dallas and is the most rootin' tootin' cowgirl in school. That is until Lexis from Texas arrives and Alice discovers that she is just a typical girl from Dallas, PA. Lexis can lasso, has an amazing ten gallon hat and has captured the attention of her classmates, all while Alice sits in the background. Alice decides that there is not enough room for two cowgirls in class and showdown will take place on the playground. Who will be THE cowgirl of the class?
review 2: I enjoyed the clever twist in this story and the fact that both girls come from towns but not states typically associated with cowgirls. When Lexis from Texas arrives at school, she threatens the position of Alice from Dallas. All of their classmates hang on every... more word Lexis utters and enjoy doing what she does. After all, she's a real cowgirl. A showdown between the two girls has unexpected results, and Alice later learns the truth about her rival. The text has a good message, and the illustrations, created with watercolor paints and finished in ink, are filled with action as well as showing just how determined both girls are to rule their own particular territory. Friends can be found in surprising places, as Alice learns. less
