"After his many years as a typical bachelor cowboy, Slim Chance is
convincedagainst his willthat he needs to build his own herd of cattle
and invest in the future. So, he takes the plunge, takes out a loan, and
takes his newly-bought heifers to a pasture on Violas fathers ranch.
But, just about the time his new herd is calved-out and his investment is
beginning to look promising, the dry and windy weather conditions put the
entire county on High Alert for fire-danger. Hank is sure that he and Slim
can defend the ranch against anything that comes their way, that is, until
they come face-to-face with a wildfire unlike any grass fire theyve seen
before. Will Slim be able to get the cattle to safety in time? And, more
importantly, what about Slim himself? You wont want to miss this
hair-raising and heart-warming tale of cowboy-bravery, true heroism, and
the blessings of friends and community

Okay, we admit it. We like to have fun, too. So when we saw these rollicking, humorous, action-packed books that are encouraging reluctant readers all over the country to read, we just couldn't resist! Hank the Cowdog: Head of Ranch Security. This canine is a cross between Maxwell Smart and John Wayne. Sandy Bauers of the Philadelphia Inquirer states "This mutt in disguise is adorably pretentious and frequently fumbling, yet never knowing it. Dogdom's Don Quixote. Nothing escapes his steely gaze - except, perhaps the perfectly obvious..." Filled with dry wit and down-home humor, these are books that you will enjoy reading to your children. Testimonials from parents, librarians, and teachers vouch for the ability of these books to "turn on" even the most reticent reader. We feel we must qualify our overall delight in these books, however. A couple of the books in the series include an owl character, Madam Moonshine, described as "a witchy little owl". You may want to avoid the books she appears in, so far we can only identify #2, #4 and #11. #9 has a Halloween theme. The "ghost" is a trick-or-treater, but you may want to avoid the Halloween theme.
