Horn Book Review

Hank the Cowdog, the self-proclaimed ""Head of Ranch Security,"" narrates two meandering, tedious tales. In one, he manages to avoid the temptation to eat chicks destined for the county fair; in the other, he apprehends a monkey who steals tools from the ranch. The stories drag on for too long, and the dialogue is inane.
