Sally May takes the family on a vacation, but there’s never a dull moment on the ranch. Hank learns about a tool thief on the loose who uses a monkey to help him do his dirty work. And before long, Hank finds himself face-to-face with the pilfering primate! Can Hank catch the criminals, or will the crooks make a monkey out 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.
