It was pretty good
This is a fun read-aloud about a clever little boy who tricks a gang of bad cowboys. It's a bit long, and the illustrations don't seem as if they are bold enough to hold a child's attention, but the story itself should be intriguing to kids.ETA August 2020: I read this one to the big kids tonight and enjoyed it quite a bit more than I remembered the first time around.

This book is about a very clever boy. Clever Beatrice was the same type of book. If you want to convey a message to think before you act, this is another great book for that.

This was a favorite book of mine and a favorite one I read to my kids. An outlaw comes to town to rob the bank and comes across a boy who stands up to him. Very funny and a lot of fun to read with a classic TV-Western accent. I wish they'd reprint this book, because it really is a gem!

My favorite children's book. My mom actually threw it away, but my excellent wife found another copy for me and now i have it, and won't let it go. The best part about this book is that the hero uses his thinking cap instead of the instinct of fear.
Story and art do not seem dated at all.
A funny picture book from the 70s! Kids will love the tricks Wally plays on the gang of bandits who roll into his town while the sheriff is away fishing.
