Riassunto

“I hope readers will find much to delight them in these stories, which fully inhabit each animal from the smallest newly hatched chick to the wisest mother cow and the most faithful ranch dog and the wiliest coyote.” ―Rosanne Parry, from the Foreword

In this classic collection of charming tales from 1931, writer, teacher, and homesteader Alice Day Pratt shares her love of animals and of the West. Animals of a Sagebrush Ranch features Bingo, the lovable and intelligent big brown setter; Fly, the fine white mare, and Babe, the ebony-black colt; Kitty Kat and her kitten, El Dorado; Rab, the sturdy cow pony; and the many other animals who romped over the hills of Central Oregon’s Broadview Ranch.

Introducing Pratt’s ranch animals to today’s readers, this edition includes a new foreword by award-winning author Rosanne Parry and the original and timeless illustrations by Kurt Wiese. Animal lovers of all ages will delight in these splendid stories from the high desert and enjoy reading and rereading these adventures that still capture youthful joy.
