Customer Reviews

Hank the Cowdog

These are the funnest books to read. I use my Hank the Cowdog voice and my Drover voice and the kids all giggle. I do sound just like him.

Great Book

I love all the Hank books, and this is a great one for the Christmas season. These books are hilarious and more important to the young reader, fun to read. I'd also check the rest of the series. Author of "Hobo Finds A Home" editor "Of A Predatory Heart"

The Case Of The Dead Chickens

This book is about a brave cowdog named Hank. He tries to solve the case of the dead chickens. He has to find clues, like feathers, to catch who is eating the chickens. In the horse pasture he is chased and bitten by horses. Hanks owners wife throws rocks at him for looking at clues in her garden. Then, no thanks to a ranch mutt named Drover, Hank started finding clues and thought the suspect could be a skunk. So, on the other side of the ranch Hank waited in a corner by the chicken house. Suddenly, he sees the skunk go into the chicken house. When the skunk came out with the chicken, Hank went after him. Hank solves the case of the chickens and gets rid of the skunk.
