1: Bubba, The Cowboy Prince
This twist on "Cinderella" is a romp! I read it to my students in a Texas accent, and they were totally enthralled. A fun read!

2: Bubba the Cowboy Prince
Bubba is one of the most fun read aloud books you can imagine! In a school setting, it is a wonderful mirror for the traditional Cinderella story and opens all kinds of story analysis, including writing their own localized fairy tale. It is a riot to read to any grade from Kindergarten through HIgh School. Reading it to a grandchild is pure joy; finding the hidden Fairy God Cow on each page, reading with a Texas accent, and enjoying the wonderful illustrations is just plain fun! A good book to add to any personal library, adult or child!

3: Bubba, The Cowboy Prince
What a delightful book for kids and adults! I bought three copies and plan to order more for gifts. The story is really funny, and the illustrations are beautiful. I would recommend this to anyone who loves take-offs on classic fairy tales.

4: Grade 3 Book Review
Bubba the Cowboy Prince
by Helen Ketteman
There once was a Rancher named Bubba who lived with his stepbrothers and stepdaddy, they made him do all the work, that's why he loved ranching. There was a girl named Miz Lurleen, she was the purtiest gal in the county, she sent out invitations for a ball. Soon the day of the ball came, Bubba was as busy as ever. Even though Bubba did all the work he still didn't get to go to the ball. After they left, Bubba heard a voice, it said, "Go to the ball, Bubba." It was his Fairy Godcow, she gave him nice clothes and a Stallion, infact, when he got to the ball he changed back to normal and turned in to a boy in rags and ran off and on his way back his boot fell off so Miz Lurleen went to see who's it was, it was Bubba's, then they got married.
The theme is good versus evil because Bubba is good and his stepbrothers are bad and good is trying to win. The message is don't judge a book by it's cover. The genre is Fairy Tale because clothes can't on someone out of nowhere and a cow can't turn in to a horse. I recommend this book to people who don't think they're beautiful but they are and if you think you're not beautiful you're going to start to act not beautiful because you don't care.
I think Helen Ketteman is very creative for making it a Prince not a Princess and how Bubba turned back in to normal during the ball and how the Fairy God mother was a cow instead, she surprised me. I liked how the Fairy Godcow appeared in a tornado instead of out of no where. I liked how Bubba made most of the action start. I liked how the language was in English because if it wasn't I couldn't of read any of it. I loved the illustrations because it made it look real.
