Hank runs into a dispute with a giant bullfrog over the Emerald Pond. Then, there’s a battle with a…Monster. It’s too scary to tell what kind of monster it is! However, things get really tough when Hank is entrusted with the job of guarding Little Alfred’s soon-to-be prize winning chicks. They’re cute, but they also look delicious! Will Hank be able to put aside his doggie instincts or will his appetite finally get the best of him?

Here is a great chapter book option for middle elementary boys, even reluctant readers! Written by Christian Cowboy, John R. Erickson, these delightful stories will capture your imagination and your funny bone. Be prepared to laugh out loud with Hank the Cowdog, Head of Ranch Security. These stories were absolute favorites in the Bjorkman house for many years. There are over 50 titles in the series, so once you’re hooked, come back and find the next episode. Some of the humor is a bit “earthy”, as when Hank chooses to bathe in the septic tank overflow, but we have not found any of it objectionable.
