Ropin' A Rattler

Yee-Haw! There's a rattlesnake in the sagebrush and one pint-sized cowboy with a big rope and an even bigger idea.

When Clancy and his trusty cowpony Roy spot a rattler in the sagebrush, Clancy does exactly what his daddy taught him: grab that rope and let 'er fly. The loop lands perfectly. Clancy lands less perfectly, dropping THUD straight in the dirt. And that slippery slitherer finds himself flying high like a kite on the end of a string.

Heapin' with Western humor, heart, and one very tangled snake, this laugh-out-loud prairie adventure is the first book in the Adventures of Cowboy Clancy & Roy the Wonder Horse series, where the shenanigans are always big and the friendship is always bigger.

Perfect for ages 4-8 who love horses, wide-open spaces, and cowboys who land in the dirt but always get back in the saddle.
