| Leroy Ninker Saddles Up |
If you liked
Mercy Watson, read on! First in a new
series called Tales from Deckawoo Drive, Leroy Ninker Saddles Up tells the
story of would-be cowboy Leroy Ninker.
He’s ready for cowboy life and already has his boots, lasso and hat. He’s only missing one thing – a horse. When
Leroy Ninker meets Maybelline, he knows she is the “horse of his heart”. Yippie-i-oh!
Maybelline
likes to have sweet nothings whispered in her ear, and she loves to eat. But she doesn’t fit very well into Leroy’s
apartment, and when he leaves her alone outside, he lives “to rue and regret
the day.” He ends up having to rescue
his precious Maybelline. But what is
cowboy life without a little adventure, right?
With some help from his friends on Deckawoo Drive – including Mrs.
Watson and Mercy – Leroy saves the day!
Heartwarming
and laugh out loud funny, Leroy Ninker is a wonderful early chapter book. Preschoolers and Kindergarteners will enjoy
listening to the story, and kids in grades 1-3 will want to read it themselves.
