About the Author:
Slim Jim Watkins, like most cowboys, is a hardworkin', lasso-wieldin' cowhand. All he wants to do at the end of a long day roping cattle is ease out of his saddle, throw off his clothes, and take a deep snooze. But little by little, Slim Jim Watkins finds that his old way of getting ready for bed just won't do. Before it's all over, he decides it's better just to fall down on his bedroll, boots and all.
This beautifully illustrated, amusing story, with its anticipatory suspense, will delight kids and grownups alike, and everyone will be charmed by the nightly entourage of desert animals who play a key role. That is, until Slim Jim Watkins learns a thing or two and starts to sleep with his boots on.
Laurie Lazzaro Knowlton is an Ohio native who, after living in Houston for seven years, returned to Ohio to live on a farm with her husband. An elementary-school teacher, she travels extensively, appearing at schools and conventions across the country.
Author/illustrator James Rice (1934-2004) produced sixty books, including the illustrations for Pelican’s treasured The Night Before Christmas Series. Rice’s first book, the well-loved classic Cajun Night Before Christmas®, has more than 750,000 copies in print. Young readers can enjoy more of Gaston®’s adventures in Gaston® Goes to Mardi Gras and sample Rice’s other children’s stories with favorites such as Texas Jack at the Alamo. With more than 1.5 million copies of his books in print, Rice ranks among the nation’s best-selling creators of children’s books, receiving awards from Printer Industries of America and the Children’s Book Council, among others. Years after his death, Rice’s family found the art and text Gaston® Joins the Circus, and this discovery has brought Gaston® back for one more adventure!
