Personal Review: Calico the Wonder Horse, or the Saga of
Stewy Stinker by Virginia Lee Burton
"Way out west in Cactus County there was a horse named Calico. She
wasn't very pretty...but she was very smart. She was the smartest fastest
horse in all of Cactus County." She could run like "greased lightning", and
she could smell like a bloodhound. "Her nose was so keen she could track
a bee through a blizzard." She was owned by a cowboy named Hank, and
"...she would go to the end of the trail for Hank. They had a language all
their own and understood each other perfectly." Life was good and happy
for everyone who lived in Cactus County, no locks, no fences, and no
sheriff or jail. But across the Cactus River were the Badlands where the
villains of this story lived. And the meanest, sneakiest, absolutely worst
bad man of them all was Stewy Stinker. He was so mean, "he would hold
up Santa Claus on Christmas Eve if he had a chance." So sit back and get
comfortable and see what happened when Stewy Stinker and his nasty
gang came to town..... First published in 1941, Calico The Wonder Horse

is as fresh and entertaining today, as it was over fifty years ago. This is an
old fashioned, action packed, rootin' tootin' western that has it all...cattle
rustling, hold-ups, a stampede and kidnapping, a wild and thrilling
stagecoach chase, and through it all, Calico comes to the rescue,
outsmarts the bad guys and saves the day. Virginia Lee Burton's clever,
witty text is dramatic, engaging and full of wild west colloquialisms that will
have both kids and adults laughing and cheering at all the fun. Her
marvelous comic strip illustrations are expressive and full of detail and beg
to be pored over and explored. Put it all together and you have the
makings of a timeless classic to share with friends, family and future
generations. Perfect for youngsters 4-8, Calico The Wonder Horse is a
masterpiece and a MUST for every home library.
