Opis

"Another rollicking addition starring the porcine wonder. . . . Will keep newly independent readers turning the pages."
--School Library Journal (starred review)

Leroy Ninker is a small man with a big dream: he wants to be a cowboy, but for now he's just a thief. In fact, Leroy is robbing the Watsons' kitchen right this minute But little does he know that a certain pig who loves toast with a great deal of butter is stirring from sleep. Even less could he guess that a comedy of errors will soon lead this little man on the wild and raucous rodeo ride he's always dreamed of Nosy neighbors, astonished firemen, a puzzled policeman, and the ever-doting Watsons return for a hilarious adventure.

Recenzje

Mercy is back in this fun third installment of merrymaking, buttered-toast eating, and crime solving.
Kirkus Reviews

The shiny, retro pictures still amuse.
Booklist

Another rollicking adventure DiCamillo has creatively woven in the elements that a good easy reader should have: repetition, simple sentence structure, and controlled vocabulary.
School Library Journal (starred review)

Charming and colorful.
Dayton Daily News

This silly story makes my nearly 9-year-old son laugh out loud at every reading (yes, it s been requested multiple times).
