Granny and Little Critter are seated in the back of the wagon as the Clearwater family moves West. A big bump in the trail bounces them out, and a new adventure for them follows. As Granny leads the way, they encounter the MOUNTAINS, the Bad Poet train robber, and a brief ride with the Pony Express. After an exciting journey, they meet up with Pa and Ma in California.
Wild and wacky illustrations fill the pages with opportunities for hilarious observations about Granny's next move as she and Critter travel West.
A delightful reading experience.
