It happens about ten minutes after lunch is cleared. The read-aloud is open, the older kids are settled, and the youngest is already starting to squirm. You want them all at the table together, sharing the same story, without the wiggles turning into a wrestling match.
This is the kind of book for that exact moment. The little one colors Bo while you read about Bo. Everybody stays in the same story.
What's inside

Sheriffs Bo and Mr. Quillery, Mrs. Hen's lost chick, Big Jake, Rattlin' Red, Old Sage, Prickles, and every other character card from the book series
