JUST SIMPLY A FUN READ.

What happens when the greatest cowboy in the west meets the meanest bull in the west? (Oops, must not forget the greatest horse in the west too). Well, we get a very fun to read story as told by Pattie schnetzier. This is a tale of the old west in the traditon of Pecos Bill. The illustrations are great, quite eye catching and go well with the text. It helps a lot if you can manage a Texas accent when reading this work, but if you can't, the author has done a nice job with her syntax and it almost comes out naturally as you read. As I said, the book is fun, the kids love it and you and the kids will get a good laugh. What more could you want?

The Wild West meets Toon Town!

Widdermaker is a side splitting, knee slapping ride through the great geographic wonders of the west as Cowpoke Pete pursues the notorious Widdermaker, the meanest orneriest bull you can imagine. The cartoon-like illustrations add a whole nother level of humor to this rompin ride. It's plum full of fun!
