Meet a city girl with a big Wild West dream. "I don't want to be a good girl- Good girls have no fun. I can't play quiet games indoors, I love the rain and sun. I don't want to be a girly girl Who likes to sit and chat. I just want to be a cowgirl, Daddy, What's so wrong with that?" From the window of a high-rise city apartment, a little girl imagines a very different view and dreams of a very different life, but does it have to be just a dream? The big city meets the wild Wild West in Jeanne Willis's lyrical text, accompanied by hilarious illustrations from Tony Ross.
