What kinds of instruments would you imagine a band of cowboys playing?
Surely nothing fancy, but they can still make do with what they have,
like jugs, combs, boots, and whatever else they can find. Out on the
open range, with no one to tell them to quit their hollerin', a cowboy
band counts from ten to one in a tune children are familiar with. Silly
phrases, toe-tapping rhythms, and the occasional twist make these
cowpokes a great addition to any story-time or bedtime lineup.
Featuring a ragtag group of cowboys from author Tamera Will Wissinger,
and colorful, offbeat illustrations by Matt Loveridge, This Old Band
is sure to delight children and adults alike (and teach kids a few
things about counting and noises) with a fun take on a popular nursery
rhyme.
Sky Pony Press, with our Good Books, Racehorse and Arcade imprints, is
proud to publish a broad range of books for young readers--picture books
for small children, chapter books, books for middle grade readers, and
novels for young adults. Our list includes bestsellers for children who
love to play Minecraft; stories told with LEGO bricks; books that teach
lessons about tolerance, patience, and the environment, and much more.
While not every title we publish becomes a New York Times bestseller
or a national bestseller, we are committed to books on subjects that are
sometimes overlooked and to authors whose work might not otherwise find
a home.
