5.0 out of 5 stars Buford is my FAVORITE Bighorn, March 23, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Buford the Little Bighorn (Hardcover)

These are my absolute favorite pictures from Bill Peet. Buford has trouble with his tribe due to being smaller than the other bighorns, but manages to find a way to be proud in spite of the opinions of others.
