Product Description

Review
Grandfather and his spunky dog Roo set out on another silly and over-the-top adventure, which this time takes these two unlikely explorers from England and across the United States in search of Roo's (in)famous grandfather, Old Blue. In their travels, which are characterized by calamities and last-minute escapes, the pair find themselves roped into such humorous situations as being stuck on a Greyhound bus with a pack of misbehaving greyhounds and being trapped in a town overrun by outlaw wild horses. Readers familiar with Horse's work will recognize familiar elements and themes, including the duo's uncanny ability to escape hair-raising situations and the cast of offbeat anthropomorphized animals that they meet along the way. As in the other Grandfather and Roo tales, this text is a series of bite-sized letters addressed to Grandfather's gender-neutral grandchild, a technique that makes the whole both palatable and approachable for transitioning independent readers. Imaginative and fun. (Fantasy. 6-8) (Kirkus Reviews)

Product Description
In this adventure starring grandfather and his dog Roo. The search is on for Roo's grandfather. Their journey starts with them boarding a Greyhound bus in Los Angeles and then travelling across the States. The pair end up in One Horse Town where Roo is elected sheriff and then run out of town.

4.0 out of 5 stars fun for everyone, 17 Feb 2008
The Last Cowboy is written by the winner of Gold Medal for 6-8 age category, in 1998, Smarties Book Prize for The Last Gold Diggers, Scottish Arts Council's Writers Award for The Ogopogo - My Journey With The Loch Ness Monster, S.A.C. Publishers Award for The Ogopogo - My Journey With The Loch Ness Monster and The Last Polar Bears was a Children's Book of the Year Choice. The Last Cowboy is part of a sort of series about Roo, Harry's real life dog. This book is set out in letters that a grandfather wrote to his grandson about his wild adventures. I would rate this book 7/ 10 and I would recommend it to all adventure loving kids and adults alike.

5.0 out of 5 stars the best book in the world, 21 Jun 2000
By A Customer
I think that this book is very funny and very good. I like Roo the dog she is very funny and I like when she is funny. I like it when she talks about rabbits and goes to rabbit world. I like it when they go on the greyhouund bus. The greyhound raceis especially funny. The Roo books are fun to read with my mam and sister we all love them. matthew fothergill aged 8

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent reading for young and old alike!, 24 Oct 1999
By A Customer
This is my third book by author Harry Horse and I was as thrilled with the humour and imagination of this as I was with The Last Polar bears. Children are the best judges, and for my children this book is another winner from Harry Horse! I read that this book had won the Smartie Award 1999 and this prompted me to write this review as I am so impressed not just with this book but with his other titles. I hope to see more of his work in the very near future. Well done Harry!!! Anyone reading this review - A Friend For Little Bear and The Last Polar Bears is a must for any child's book collection.
