Grade 2-3-This new addition to the series will not disappoint Hank's fans. The dog's hilarious adventure begins when he chases puffs of cottonwood cotton, is trapped in a runaway truck, and has his life threatened by a bull, and ends with the dramatic rescue of a family of kittens from a storm. Hank shares his experiences in a folksy, conversational tone with Drover, a mutt who provides a forum to define and explain details of ranch life to readers. Children will appreciate the humor when the author adapts familiar words to enhance their meaning, e.g., humilification. The full-page, boldly colored illustrations add to the fun. A good choice for animal lovers who are not ready for Deborah and James Howe's Bunnicula (Atheneum, 1979) and Mary Christian's "Sebastian" books (Macmillan).
