Testimonials

"If each of Sleeping Bear Press' alphabet books is as vivid and enticing as C is for Cowboy: A Wyoming Alphabet, the entire collection should be in every library in America! This is a unique and wonderful children's book captures the spirit and beauty of Wyoming's intriguing history with western humor, cowboy poetry, and tales of heroes past and present, better than any travel brochure, let alone history book."
