Rope 'Em!

Scout could herd. Virgil could rope and tie. You’d think they’d make a great team. You’d think. They wouldn’t agree. Until the day that Barrier Reef Bullface set fin in the O.K. Coral. He had trouble on his mind and fish in his belly, and a couple of old big-mouthed (and bighatted) cowpokes weren’t going to stop him. Well, not by themselves anyway. But maybe if they work together, they just might figure out how to rid their little piece of paradise of someone nasty. Right, pardner?

Shelby

Shelby is a shy lemon shark who wants more than anything to make a friend. But, she is more afraid of the wahoos, ballyhoos, and feoricious little tunnies than they are of her razor sharp teeth. So she waits, and wishes, until one day when a barnacled beast billows into the magrove swamp and captures all of the fish. The only way to save them is for Shelby to chomp with all of the strength in her powerful shark's jaw. Will there be any wahoos left?
