Content
Billy Bo wanted to be a cowboy ever since he was a child. He loves riding rodeos and ends up winning the prize money for bull riding. Before celebrating, he takes his money to the bank. At the saloon, someone tells Billy that the bank has been robbed and the thieves are on the run. Billy wants to take up pursuit immediately. But where should he look? Billy meets a Native American named “Beautiful Day” who luckily knows how to track. At first, Billy wants to ride out by himself, but that’s a hopeless endeavour. The Native American finds out that the thieves are the Bart Brothers, but he and Billy lose track of them. With the help of smoke signals, they learn where the bandits are hiding, and with a trick and the help of his lasso, Billy unceremoniously captures the robbers.
About the Series

This is a fun way to check how well children understand what they read. The first level features short texts with lots of pictures that provide clues to the story's meaning. These books are written in extra-large print. When children are ready for longer stories, the second level of Reading Raven offers short chapter books, also in large print with illustrations that help readers follow the text. The third level is for readers who are becoming proficient, with longer chapters and increasingly complex stories, but still with accompanying pictures and highly readable print.
