Toughest Cowboy: A Humorous Wild West Tall Tale Children's Hardcover Book

Saddle up for a hilarious romp through the Big Sky Country of the 1860s. Grizz Brickbottom is the roughest cowboy around, known for flossing with barbed wire and drinking Tabasco by the quart. Even a legend needs a friend, so he sets off to find a loyal hound to help with the cattle. Instead of a fierce wolf, he ends up with Foofy, a dainty miniature poodle who loves catching tin plates. This tall tale is packed with exaggerated metaphors and gross-out humor that kids absolutely adore. Zachary Pullen’s oil-rendered paintings bring the dusty frontier to life with larger-than-life characters. It's a perfect choice for independent readers or for sharing a laugh during story time. Watch as a tiny dog tames the wildest pack of cowboys to ever ride the range. This award-winning book belongs on every young buckaroo's bookshelf.
