About the Book

This book, Our First Rodeo, is a story about three boys about to attend their first rodeo. They are excited, and in spite of the fact that they hate shopping, they spend all day with their mother buying western duds to wear to the rodeo.

The Surprise

Imagine their shock when Daddy and Mother both appear in western duds, as well.

Rodeo Activities

The rodeo grounds, entertainment attractions, souvenirs, and autographs are discussed. There is a description of each rodeo event, calf roping, bronc riding, barrel racing, and bull riding. The clowns are entertaining and keep the boys laughing throughout the activities.

The Memories

The boys dreamed about the events, chalked up memories for the future and continued to talk about the events the following morning at breakfast. The younger of the three painted his face like a clown and came to breakfast, making everyone laugh.
