A little cowpoke and his faithful pooch have a powerful hunger. They settle at the kitchen table expecting a plateful of victuals, beginning with their favorites: tomatoes and string potatoes. But nary a morsel appears, and the cowpoke’s plate is empty. The cowpoke becomes increasingly frustrated until a friendly chef assures them they must await two special dinner guests.
Educational, entertaining and silly book designed to teach young children about food names and their matching images and to set the stage for discussions about getting all the facts before becoming angry and frustrated. The ending is pure fantasy.
