For his birthday, Roy’s friends give him a saddle and some very specific instructions:1. Find a horse. 2. Enjoy the ride!Roy has never met a horse, but he’s game to try: A snake tells him to look for a creature withlegs. A crab has six legs, but he’s too unfriendly to be a horse. A friendly chameleon smiles atRoy, but horses don’t change colour.…What’s a horseless cowboy to do?This hilarious picture book perfectly demonstrates the process by which children (and scientists!)understand our world—and the silliness that will make them laugh out loud.

Andy Rash was born on a mountain top in Tennessee and raised in the small polymer town of Kingsport, where all green plastic soda bottles come from. He earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Savannah College of Art and Design during a rather rocky period in that school's history, and a Masters of Fine Art at the School of Visual Arts in New York while things seemed to be going relatively smoothly. Since graduating, Andy has been a freelance illustrator, working for many national magazines and newspapers. He has also taught illustration at the School of Visual Arts. In addition, Andy finds himself at the beginning of a remarkable career in children's books. His first picture book, The Robots Are Coming, an American Bookseller Pick of the Lists, was published by Arthur A. Levine Books / Scholastic. He also illustrated Daniel Pinkwater's Fat Camp Commandos and Fat Camp Commandos Go West, and his second picture book, Agent A to Agent Z for Arthur A. Levine Books / Scholastic.
