Full of loyal friendship, compliments and even some hot buttered toast in the end! Great Kid Books Leroy may be a small man, but he has big dreams of being a cowboy--a real cowboy like he sees in the movies. But--as his coworker at the drive-in movie theater tells him--every cowboy needs a horse. He's got to "take fate in (his) hands and wrestle it to the ground." And with this inspiration, Leroy sets out to find himself a horse and a loyal friend. When Leroy finds Maybelline, we wonder if she's the right horse for him.

We have a soon-to-be 7-year-old who is crazy for cowboys, so when I saw this short chapter book with some of the same characters, I thought it would be perfect. It is a really cute book, decently easy to read, but still a bit of a challenge to keep him interested.After he finished reading this one, I tried to find more about Leroy Ninker, but it looks like the next couple of books are about other characters.
