Description
Finally, Tiger has real cowboy boots for the annual cattle drive up at Uncle Roy's ranch. As the only city kid on the trail, he wants to make a good impression. But does anyone notice?
There is just too much to do. And boy - can the trail be rough! By the time it's all over, Tiger has learned a whole lot about what real means.

Editorial Reviews
"Feisty."
— Publishers Weekly
"One of the most attractive kids' books . . . since A Prairie Alphabet."
— Saskatoon Star Phoenix
"Realistic, full-colour art captures the sweep of the landscape and the rough and ready process of moving 400 cows and calves up mucky trails and across rivers."
— Quill & Quire
