This time Billy and Blaze set out west (for a family holiday) and encounter great boy adventures and make a new cowboy friend.

Billy and Blaze books teach courage and responsibility and consideration for others. These things do seem to be lacking in a lot of children's literature these days.

If you want a classic story with good values and a great storyline, this is for you and your boys.

I love this book on Blaze and the Mountain Lion part of the Billy & Blaze series.

This is when Billy and Blaze are on the ranch and his parents had come west and taken a ranch house for the summer and the had Blaze along too.

Billy & Blaze to the Rescue! So they are able to chase the wild cat into its den and save a frightened calf from near death. So Billy has an old rope he used as a lasso and he roped the calfs belly and he pulled him up.

Jim their new cowboy friend kills the mountain lion and Billy got a new lasso.

I love the Billy & Blaze books by author C. W. Anderson.

In my opinion, the entire Billy and Blaze collection is nice for the whole family to enjoy. Children ages nine and under might enjoy these stories the most. Perhaps, children age 10 and up may find the reading and stories too simple. However, I enjoyed reading the stories with my children (ages 2 - 7), and they thoroughly enjoyed the stories as well.

C.W. Anderson tells fun stories about a boy and his horse. I have been reading to my grandkids and they love the whole series.

Blaze and the Mountain Lion (Billy and Blaze)

My 4 year old boy and I really enjoy the adventures had by this boy and his horse. The old fashioned black and white or sepia drawings are well done and fit the "old west" theme. Some stories have a slight hint at danger, but everything works out. There is a forest fire, a mountain lion, a wild horse. Billy is a problem solver. So far we have read 6 books in this series they are all very good. We recommend them.

I am not as big a fan of the Blaze books as my kids are, but both of my kids really love them. Billy is a boy that loves his horse and he is very relatable. My son treasures every Blaze book he owns.

My 5 year old twin boys have just begun to enjoy this series of books after reading two of the Billy and Blaze books saved from my own childhood. I decided to complete the collection for them and have bought all the other books. These classic boy-and-faithful-horse-adventure stories have a timeless appeal that have been a joy to revisit for me and to discover for the first time for them.

We purchased all of C.W. Anderson's Billy and Blaze series books for our homeschool. The story and the illustrations make this book a real "page turner". Each left-hand page has large text for easy reading, while each right-hand page has a full-page illustration to complement the story.

The sentence structure and vocabulary is fairly good. This particular story is about a horse riding pre-teen boy who is on the lookout for a mountain lion who is attacking livestock. The setting is in rural America (probably midwest), and in the 1930's or early 1940's.
