Ye-haw! I love a good fractured Texas fairy tale. Helen Ketteman is the champion of this genre in my book. She has a series of fantastic Texas themed stories. I think you would enjoy Bubba the Cowboy Prince. This book definitely requires the use of a heavy Texas accent. Happy reading!
Bubba is bossed around the family ranch by
his wicked step daddy and his nasty stepbrothers, Dwayne and Milton.
Bubba never complains, though. He’s a real cowboy – tough as leather and
cute as a cow’s ear!
When Miz Lurleen, the purtiest rancher in
Texas, decides to throw a ball to find herself a feller, Bubba has to
stay at home. “You smell more like the cattle than the cattle do,” taunt
Dwayne and Milton.
But with the help of Bubba’s Fairy God-cow,
and a little Texas magic, Miz Lurleen finds the cowboy Prince she’s
always dreamed of. With it’s western language and humor, the Texas
retelling of Cinderella will really rope in the readers.
