Grab your hats and ride along with Cowboy Billy on his mail run to 44th Street. Follow Billy on his adventurous journey as he weaves through an imaginary landscape where he dodges rustlers on bicycles, sheriffs directing stalled traffic, and chuck-wagon cooks dishing up hot dogs. After a day of riding his stick horse, Splinter, across this imaginary landscape, Billy returns to the rooftop of his apartment to sit beneath the stars and remember Grandpa, who said “Home for a cowboy is anywhere he lights his campfire.” Billy's journey will delight cowboys, cowgirls, and tenderfeet of all ages.

Jack Rabbit boasts idly without much consideration for how he might actually accomplish the feats that he brags about. One day he goes a little too far-claiming he's so graceful that he can dance with a rattlesnake "without getting bit" and so brave that he can kiss coyotes and live to tell the tale. With that last boast, his desert friends have had enough and they challenge Jack to do so. Just when he thinks he has gotten away with kissing three sleeping coyotes, they wake up, and chaos ensues. How Jack makes good on all of his claims results in a funny, adventurous folktale, and Vaughan's folksy narrative keeps the story flowing.
