The Misadventures of Cowhead Charlene Peterson

Cowhead woke up excited about going to the park to try out the new Big Kids Slide, but she finds herself afraid to try it once she actually sees it. She tries to tell her best friend, Dee Dee Duck, but she doesn't want Dee Dee Duck to make fun of her. Papa Cow tells Cowhead that if she puts her mind to it, she can do whatever she wants. She thinks about it, and then she gets the courage to actually climb the steps to the slide. To her surprise, it wasn't as scary as she thought it would be. Seeing all her friends slide down and hearing them laughing and giggling on their way, she wanted to give it a try, and when she did, it was just as much fun as she imagined it would be.
