Winner of the 2011 Spur Award for Best Storyteller by the Western Writers of America
The cowboy life isn't easy, filled with riding, roping, and ranging. But Cole knows that it's the only life for him. In what other profession does a hard day's work lead directly to an evening campfire? In this story of Western dreams and unfenced imagination, a boy and his faithful dog leave indoor comforts behind for a sleep-out under the stars. But when the sun goes down, how's a young cowpoke to handle his first run-in with bandits, bears, and worse? Saddle up for the backyard adventure in A Night on the Range.
"Humor runs effortlessly through the winding story, rich with cowboy drawl, double meanings and playful interplay between the narrative and art...." — Kirkus Reviews
