New York City orphan Joe Monday dreams of finding a family and of being a cowboy. Things look up when he's sent West on an "orphan train," until he ends up with a pair of pig farmers who only want the free labor he provides. Joe runs away with a cattle drive headed north from Texas, though the cowboys are unsure of their young tag-along. But when disaster strikes, Joe proves that even a kid can be a hero, and learns that dreams really can come true.

Insipred by the traditional cowboy ballad Little Joe, the Wrangler.
(The Littlest Wrangler) rings true from beginning to end and should intrigue young readers about this curious Cowboy life we celebrate. I highly recommend throwing a lasso around The Littlest Wrangler and getting it into the hands of young folks you'd like to see begin to "get it." - Rick Huff, Western Way magazine
(J.R. Sanders) has written a most enjoyable children's book that introduces young readers to the old west of the late 1800s. I can honestly say that readers will have a hard time putting this book down. - O.J. Sikes, Rope Burns
J.R. Sanders has definitely written a book that should entertain all children (and adults) who read it, and could be the book that sees them becoming western readers of the future. - Western Fiction Review
(J.R.) Sanders has not only written a wonderful story, but he has reopened the Big Book of the American Cowboy for a whole new generation of children to enjoy. - Don Edwards, America's Cowboy Balladeer
