Rodeo Red

Rodeo Red narrates the arrival of her baby brother, Sideswiping Slim, in the dramatic language of a Western tall tale. She sees him as a slippery outlaw who has charmed the sheriff and deputy, while their everyday sibling rivalry plays out over things such as a favorite toy. Red’s over-the-top account includes a spell in a “holding cell,” which is really a time-out chair. She must also outsmart her brother to protect her beloved dog.
