Rancher Hicks wants excitement, so he rides eighty-four miles to Sleepy Gulch. The real excitement stays home.
While Hicks looks for something interesting in town, his wife Elna is back at the ranch, where the impossible seems to happen one event after another. Oil, fortune, famous visitors, and outrageous surprises turn the quiet ranch into the wildest place around, all while Hicks misses the action completely.
Meanwhile Back at the Ranch is a laugh-out-loud picture book built on comic contrast and tall-tale exaggeration. Young readers who enjoy silly western settings, repeated jokes, and larger-than-life surprises will have fun watching the boring place become anything but boring.
