Hitchin’ Post is an adorable must read children’s book for any Texas lover out there. The tale follows a bunny cowboy named Hitch, it describes how he got his name, what he does on the farm, and even a fun car ride he takes. It’s a cute story and has a great message for kids and adults alike. “It’s the big and the small and all the in-between that should make you feel the richest of rich.” – Julie Barker from Hitchin’ Post

A few things stood out to me with this children story. First the story itself. It’s really perfect for a parent to read with their kid, or to have a kid read it to their parent. I think it would make a wonderful bedtime story and I just love the message this story gives. Another thing that stood out to me was the beautiful illustrations by Carolyn Altman. So much beautiful detail in this cartoon pictures. And it really sets the stage for what good ol’ Texas looks and feels like. Another thing I loved was the overall length of the book. It’s not too short by any means and I think if you working with a child that you’re trying to increase the amount of reading time they have (your child or one of your young students) I think this would be a great book for them to sit and listen to.

As far as using the book at school with my kids as a teaching tool, there’s lots of different things I could use this book for in a special education classroom. For one, an introduction to Texas Regions. I could terrains such as suburban, urban, and rural with a focus on rural. I could identifying animals. It’s long enough too that it would be a good book to use for reading comprehension with my students.

If you’re looking for a great Texas children’s book with wonderful illustrations and a make you feel good story that you could have a fun read with your child or to use in the classroom as entertainment or a teaching tool, then be sure to check out Hitchin’ Post. It’s such a cute story. You’ll love it!
