On the eve of its 40th anniversary, Joan Walsh Anglund's Cowboy's Secret Life (1963) finds the hero of The Brave Cowboy and Cowboy and His Friend decked out in appropriate hat and spurs; he perceives more than others see. Anglund uses a splash of green in her pen-and-ink drawings to reveal a dragon at the bus stop or knights defending the school. (Sept.)
