About this book
Curlytops at Uncle Frank's Ranch by Howard Roger Garis invites listeners on a rollicking, sun-drenched Western romp where curious siblings, scrappy ponies, and frontier mischief collide. Full of cowboys, bucking broncos, and small-town heart, this classic children's adventure from early 20th-century literature captures the free-spirited play and resourcefulness of Janet, Ted (Trouble), and their fellow "Curlytops" as they explore ranch life, face unexpected dangers, and learn to rely on courage and teamwork.
Garnering charm from its period details—ringing ranch chores, trail rides, and the hidden-valley mystery—the story balances fast-paced escapades with gentle lessons about friendship, responsibility, and imagination. Howard R. Garis’s warm, accessible prose evokes a bygone America while keeping the thrills child-friendly and spoiler-free. Listeners will meet lively characters, ponyback adventures, and the timeless appeal of outdoor play without losing the comforting tone of family-centered storytelling.
Perfect for young listeners, families, and fans of classic children’s literature or vintage Western tales, this audiobook is an ideal bedtime read-aloud or road-trip companion that brings nostalgia and adventure to life.
