Alice decides theres only one way to know who the best cowgirl is: a school-yard showdown at high noon! But will Alice learn theres room for more than one cowgirl in town?Bestselling author and illustrator Marilyn Sadler and Ard Hoyt team up to create a rollicking tale of friendship that will have readers dancing the Texas Two-Step and shouting Yee-haw, no matter where theyre from.Praise for Alice from Dallas"The comic watercolor-and-ink illustrations dont miss a beat in capturing the amusing rivalry that turns into friendship...The clever ending is a yee-haw moment that will rope in readers as quick as tumbling tumbleweeds."--Kirkus Reviews"Hoyts bright ink-and-watercolor illustrations gleefully capture the girls enthusiasm for all things western, from their fringed cowgirl blouses to the bandannas tied jauntily around their necks. A lively story for cowgirls everywhere, with a breezy lesson about jealousy."--BooklistAward:NAPPA Gold Award Winner
