Are there monkeys under the toolshed?
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!

Things to Know about Hank the Cowdog:
