Pecos Bill

Ride into the wild world of Pecos Bill in this exciting American tall tale for kids and middle grade readers.

Lost as a baby and raised by coyotes, Bill grows up in the wide, dangerous Southwest, learning to read tracks, find water, face longhorn cattle, and survive the open range. When cowboys discover him, Bill enters a world of horses, cattle drives, campfires, storms, and legends.

Soon he meets Widow Maker, the horse no one can ride. He helps drive longhorns across dangerous land, ropes a cyclone before it can scatter the herd, and meets Sue, a brave river-wise woman who knows the Rio Grande.

Pecos Bill: A Legends of America Tall Tale is a lively retelling of one of America's most famous cowboy legends. Written for young readers, this middle grade Western adventure brings together American folklore, cowboy humor, Wild West adventure, and larger-than-life storytelling.
