The Case of the Night-Stalking Bone Monster (Hank the Cowdog #27) by John R. Erickson
From the back:
Join the Head of Ranch Security, his sidekick Drover, and an old pal Dogpound Ralph as they track down the elusive monster who strikes the ranch and makes off with a fortune in buried T-bones.
Fearless Hank battles with Pete the barncat, woos Miss Scamper the Beagle, helps Ralph recover from a serious case of Milk of Amnesia, and risks his life to solve the mystery of the Night-Stalking Bone Monster.
My thoughts:
Once again, this is one of Amber’s picks. It’s not my favorite kids series, but it’s okay. There are a lot of funny spots and plays on words. I’m not sure if Amber caught all of the jokes, but she caught enough to think it’s hilarious. I think my favorite part had to be the buzzard “Emergency Airborne Medical Services.”
I liked how the dogs made up the monster themselves, and then scare themselves silly worrying and barking at it. It’s something I can see kids, or my husband (no offense, David) doing. Someone did steal the bones, but you’ll have to read it to see who.
My son loved Hank the Cowdog when he was in elementary school.
