#1 ROADIE THE RANCH DOG
It's Roadie's big day in the back of the pickup! A full-colour, rhyming children's book that’s a great "beginner" for young children. All ages will enjoy the artwork.
#2 WHY RANCH DOGS MAKE PRETTY GOOD BUDDIES
Follow Roadie and friends around the ranch on a "normal" work day. Roadie rides four wheelers, "borrows" bologna sandwiches, and "helps" move cows. Kids and adults alike love this second instalment in the Roadie the Ranch Dog series. It’s time to find out why ranch dogs make pretty good buddies!
#3 TEN DARN DOGS
Ten times the ranch dogs, ten times the fun! Roadie's back, and he's brought nine pals with him. Rhyming text helps little cowpokes with reading development, and they'll love counting from ten cowdogs down to one with every page, learning number sense along the way. Interactive, educational, adorable. This hilarious countdown book adds up to a whole lot of laughs.
#4 WHERE ARE ALL THE CALVES?!
"An ice storm in March is a pretty common thing, especially during calving season early in the spring." Roadie loves calving season! He can't wait to head down to the barn and see the new calves play and run. But, wait, what's going on?! Where have all the calves gone?
#5 ROPIN' ROADIE
The only TEAM ROPING kids' book out there! Roadie's owners are headed to the arena and they made Roadie stay home! As you may have guessed, this doesn't sit well with our favourite orange mutt. Great introduction to team roping for kids, and a great read for kids/adults who may have been roping for generations. This book is a tribute to Scott’s late father, who always encouraged his son’s creative side.
#6 I'M GRUMPY
Waking up grumpy. That ever happened to you? Happened to me. In book #6 it's happened to Roadie. No matter how hard he tries to cheer himself up by doing the things he loves, it all seems to make his day worse! Fortunately for young cowpoke readers, Roadie's day ends up a little brighter with the help of his favourite rancher.
#7 THE GREATEST RANCH DOG TO EVER RANCH DOG
As Roadie keeps up with his duties on the ranch, he gets a lesson on what it takes to be not just a good ranch dog, but a great ranch dog. Old Man Bob, the greatest ranch dog of all time, takes Roadie through his list of time-tested habits to ensure Roadie's success.
Scott is an author/illustrator raised on the Montana Hi-Line. Growing up on a ranch on the Milk River gave Scott plenty of ammo for his cartoons, and there was usually a dog or two in the way. Roadie is modelled after several dogs Scott grew up with, generally mutts of a heeler cross variety.
