Ride ‘Em Cowboy Picture Book Preview
August 10th, 2009 | Posted in Books
Lorelay Bove is an artist who interned at Pixar and is currently working at Disney Animation Studios. She recently illustrated a Toy Story picture book titled Ride ‘Em Cowboy that hits store shelves on September 1st.
The only description I could find of the book online is from Copperfield’s Books.
“Everyone’s favorite “Toy Story” characters are back in action. Join Andy’s toys for a rodeo match up between Woody the cowboy and Jessie the cowgirl. Buzz Lightyear, Bullseye, Slinky Dog, and the rest of the gang add to the thrills. Full color.”
The art looks great, and as Lorelay mentions in her blog post, the book almost looks vintage due to the finish of the paper.
I love when Disney utilizes its talented artists for their children’s books, rather than uses coloring-book quality stock art. Another great example of this is Beware of Dug!
by Christian Robinson, whom I’ll be interviewing soon for the site.

Wow, I’ve always loved Disney’s Toy Story, chalk it up to the child in me
Just from your photos I can see there really is a vintage feel because of the paper finish. The book looks really cool, perfect for a little kid too! I’ll definitely be on the lookout when this hits the shelves, my little cousin would love to have this as a birthday present, he absolutely adores Buzz Lightyear!
