Book Reviews of It's a Dog's Life (Hank the Cowdog, No. 3)
Book Review: Hank the Cowdog It's a Dog's Life #3
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this book a lot, and I would recommend it too anybody! It is funny, and it was a joy to read! The main character was a dog nicknamed "Hank", although his real name is "Henry", which is not mentioned much in this book. There are a couple of little mysteries in it. The first one starts when another dog on the same farm as Hank, named Drover, awakens Hank from his nap to tell him that he heard that the world will end the next day at 3:00 p.m. Hank reacts in a very worried way, saying how it must be impossible for the world to end, although Drover tells him that's it's very true, and he's positive. Then, one of the farmers/owner's of the farm (named Sally May) runs into her car and leaves the farm. They both assume that she has heard the news, and that she is trying to get out of this world. Hank figures out that Drover heard the news from a cat, named Pete. They question him, and he says that he overheard Sally May speaking on the phone, and then write down "End of the World 3:00 p.m." on the calender. How will Hank figure out if this is ture, or not?
Another little mystery in this same book is that in part of the book, while Hank is vistiting his sister, who prepared him a dinner one night, as he finishes eating, he soon realizes that bubbles are coming out of his mouth! He starts to feel sick, and so he runs out into an alley, so that he won't dissapoint his sister because of how bad the food he was fed by her was. Then a van pulls up...
Why would his sister, Maggie ever feed him something that makes him burp up bubbles, and make his mouth start foaming? Read to find out.
Summary of It's a Dog's Life (Hank the Cowdog, No. 3)
Hank hitches a ride into town to visit his sister, Maggie, who never really took to ranch life. Maggie doesn't like swimming in the sewer, chewing on old bones, or digging in the mud. So, it's up to Uncle Hank to teach Maggie's four pups the basics of their cowdog heritage, beginning with Garbage Patrol.
