A child’s best friend is his imagination and Roy has plenty of it!

So my dad puts on some training wheels.

Meg says, “Try again, Roy. You can do it!”

I try again. I can ride with the training wheels. But do I feel like a cowboy?

No!

I feel like a cowbaby!

Excerpt

Did you first hear a rooster crowing at dawn?

Or maybe it was a neighbor mowing his lawn.

Was it the yelp of a puppy expecting a treat?

Did you hear cars and buses out in the street?

Once you are awake, there are so many sounds to hear.
