Ten-Gallon Bart

By Susan Stevens Crummel

Book Overview

Ten-Gallon Bart has been sheriff of Dog City for seventy dog years and plans to retire...until he hears that Billy the Kid is on the loose and headed for town. Billy is the roughest, toughest, gruffest goat in the country and eats everything in sight. If he reaches Dog City, he will gobble up the whole town! Ten-Gallon Bart must stop him--but he can't do it alone. With the help of Miss Kitty and the other animals in town, he works up the courage to face the big bully. Dorothy Donohue's illustrations rendered in textured paper bring this Wild West story about unlikely heroes to a satisfying conclusion.

A Spagetti Western for kids

This is my son's favorite book. We checked it out from the library and read it everyday. Now I am buying it for the pre-school class. The illustrations are amazing - overlays of paper and fabric. The writing is prefectly done to be read with western accents for each character. It is so engrossing for the kids that it is a real pleasure to read.
