The Day Dirk Yeller Came to Town

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Ard Hoyt. Notorious outlaw Dirk Yeller strikes fear in the hearts of the townsfolk when he arrives demanding something to "'take away my cat scratch fever!' His fingers were a-itchin' and a-twitchin'." No one can help, until young Sam, who gets fidgety too, steps up and leads him to the library. Spirited illustrations extend this rollicking Old-West-with-a-twist story.
