Book Description

December 1997 Tumbleweed
A delightful tale for adults and children alike, BIG- ENOUGH is the story of a cowboy and a cow horse, born on the same day, who together grow "big-enough for most anything." Young Billy was a born cowboy - unfortunately, his parents have other aspirations for him and send him off to be "educated and turned into something else." But one day Billy takes his horse, Big- Enough, and departs to pursue his true destiny, finding adventure, adversity, and, ultimately, manhood. BIG- ENOUGH is a coming-of-age-in-the-West novel of the highest quality, capturing the spirit of a young cowboy, his best horse, and the American West itself.

"It combines the lives of a boy and a horse as inseparably and convincingly as it presents the American West and an absorbing story." (The Nation)

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful story about a man and his horse and coming of age, December 1, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Big-Enough (Tumbleweed) (Hardcover)
James is a wonderful story teller. He knew the west, the horses, and the men he penned. The characters ring true and they are all damn good hands. The truth in his writing and his art is helping to preserve at least a memory of Montana ranch country.

4.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful horse story, September 14, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
One of my favorite horse stories, this book tells about the "partnership" between a young man and his horse. Born on the same day, the two have adventures together as they both grow up.

Billy becomes a man and a competent cowboy. This is what he has always wanted to be. His horse, Big Enough, helps him accomplish his goals. It's a simple story but with plenty of action and Will James's lovely illustrations.

This review is from: Big Enough (Hardcover)
Big Enough is one of my husbands favorite books, he had a copy when he was young and it got lost. I ordered this one for him, received it in just a few days and it is in very good condition. He is very pleased with it.
