''One of the best in the series''

I love to read hank the cowdog but once I got my security force welcome pack I started reading book #4 imediatly. it was a great book, with coyotes, buzzards, and gangster dogs. It is hillariousy funny, and I bet you will love it Murder in the Middle Pasture (Hank the Cowdog, 4)

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"

Muder in the middle pasture

I love to read Hank the Cowdog books by John Erickson. I love to read differnt books. You can learn from them. Hank the Cowdog is a series about a dog on a ranch. He gets in trouble and thinks he is head of the ranch security. In Murder in the Middle Pasture, he runs into cannibals he calls the coyote brothers, Rip and Snort. He always out smarts them. I recommend these books to kids 10/11 years old. If you like dogs and ranches this is the book for you. Well, I love them!

Murder in the Middle Pasture

In this fourth installment, Hank the cowdog, is up to his usual hilarious antics. The author uses colorful "Texas ranch lingo" and lets the reader see the world from a cowdog's point of view.In "Murder in Middle Pasture", Hank faces the task of solving who has killed a calf. As the "Head of Ranch Security", Hank must track down the killers. While "tracking down clues", Hank's adventures include;interogating vultures, getting caught by the "coyote nation" and being on the verge of facing certain death. He also must deal with a pack of stray dogs who are trying to take over the ranch. Of course in the end our hero triumphs. But not until the reader has had alot of laughs along the way. I especially enjoyed reading this book aloud to my 9 year old son. We laughed continuously at Hank's antics. I would highly recommend the "Hank the Cowdog" books.
