# Cow Boy Is Not a Cowboy - Hardcover

by **Gregory Barrington** (Author), **Gregory Barrington** (Illustrator)

**Meet Goat Girl and Merle: an irresistible pair of characters who show young readers that the best friendships are built on _more_ than first impressions.**

Goat Girl--an adventurous goat--lives on Humdrum Farm, a place where everything is ordinary, and she's looking for some excitement . When she meets Merle--a bull--she mistakes him for a cowboy since he's both a cow _and_ a boy. Cowboys aren't ordinary so Goat Girl can't wait to introduce herself.

**"HOWDY COWBOY!"**

An annoyed Merle insists he's not a cowboy.

But will this not-a-cowboy change his mind when his rootin'-tootin' dream has a chance to come true?

Saddle up and find out in this hilarious, rollicking unlikely friendship story perfect for fans of Jory John's _Goodnight Already!_, Ryan T. Higgins's _Mother Bruce_, and Suzanne Lang's _Grumpy Monkey_.
