“*Shea's broad parody of matinee Westerns is a readaloud delight . . . This is, without question, the best dinosaur book with no dino-saurs in it.” ―BCCB, STARRED REVIEW

“Smith's over-the-top goofy townspeople are a perfect partner for Shea's stylistic shenanigans.” ―The Horn Book

“*A crowd-pleasin' knee-slapper that'll have 'em rolling in the aisles, yessirree.” ―Kirkus Reviews, STARRED REVIEW

“*Shea's humor is spot-on in Sherriff Ryan's unwavering logic . . . and Smith's illustrations match the deadpan silliness to a tee . . . Another stellar job by Shea and Smith.” ―School Library Journal, STARRED REVIEW

“Shea and Smith, the duo behind Big Plans, deliver a western yarn that's long on cowboy slang and longer on screwball comedy.” ―Publishers Weekly
