The background of the cover is a scene from the West, from top to bottom: Dark blue-gray sky, wooden rail fences set on light red hills, a sandy desert floor of the same hue. The title covers the top third in white capitalized font. The author's name and illustrator's name are at the bottom. Taking center stage are three dances dressed as cowboys. From left to right, a woman in a yellow top and checked long skirt, the center is a woman in a red-checked shirt, brown pants tucked into dark brown boots and on the right is a man in a light tan cowboy had with a red shirt and a blue bandana at this throat. he's also in brown pants and brown boots. I don't have the words to describe it well, but all three dancers are in dance poses. it's delightful. The woman who's in the center is a little larger and has kicked a leg up high is a jump from left to right.
