PRODUCT SUMMARY
Meet Pecos Bill. Raised by coyotes in dusty Texas, he grew up to be the roughest, toughest cowboy who ever lived. Whether riding a tornado, inventing the original cowboy song or conquering a gang of outlaw cowboys, Pecos Bill is a man of many talents. He can tame any critter he lays eyes on -- a rattlesnake becomes a lasso, a fierce mountain lion transforms into a purring kitten and a wild stallion, Widow Maker, becomes Pecos's loyal companion. Pecos and his audacious bride, Slue Foot Sue, even lasso themselves a shooting star and forever become part of the vast Texas sky. Part of the multivolume Greatest American Tall Tales & Legends Video Series. A Teacher's Guide is included and available online.
