Description
Publisher's Description of Hank the Cowdog #79: Double Trouble by John R. Erickson
The drought on Hank’s ranch has finally ended, and it’s a beautiful
spring day. In fact, it’s the kind of day in which the Head of Ranch
Security really wouldn’t expect to find himself protecting the ranch
from bloodthirsty mosquitoes, doing toad duty, or, most especially of
all, standing between his cowboy friends and a sick and angry cow.
However, that’s exactly what happens when Miss Viola asks Slim and Hank
to help Woodrow haul a cow to the veterinarian. And, what begins as a
simple job soon turns into a circus when the cow proves to be a little
more clever than anyone anticipated. Will Hank be able to save day, or
is he destined to be shishkabobbed by a raging heifer?
Category Description for Hank the Cowdog Series
Children and parents of all ages are entertained by the
rollicking, hilarious adventures of Hank the Cowdog. Proclaiming himself the
“Head of Ranch Security”, Hank is lovable, pretentious, and a bit grandiose as
he interacts with others on the ranch. The humor is down-home, witty, and
generally goofy, yet incredibly delightful and fun! While the stories are great
for independent reading, the cowpoke humor and cast of ranch characters make these
wonderful options for family read-aloud!
