Calico the Wonder Horse: Or the Saga of Stewy the Stinker, by Virginia Lee Burton. Oh, it’s got action lassoed up with a kidnapping, stampede, holdup, and chase. It’s got the pretty (and fast) Calico the Wonder Horse, and it’s got the mean cattle rustler, Stewy Stinker. Give this book along with a kid’s cowboy hat, a red bandana, or complete cowboy outfit, for high-tootin’ Western appeal.
