description: Poor Buford! He was caught in a very horny dilemma. His horns, the crowning glory of all bighorn sheep, had long since outgrown the rest of him. They were, in fact, growing so large that he was forever tripping over them, himself, and everything else that lay in his path. This caused Buford and his kind friends a good deal of concern for on their mountain one false step could mean disaster! And one day as he stumbled over a precipice to end up dangling from a tree limb by his horns, Buford realized that he could put it off no longer—he simply had to find a safer place to live.Saying good-bye to his mountain-top home, the plucky little bighorn made the hazardous journey down to level ground and moved in with a friendly herd of cattle. There, on that wide and grassy plain, he lived in idyllic peace—for a few weeks at least. But with the coming of the hunting season, Buford was in trouble again. Those big horns of his made him an easy mark for any greedy sportsmen who could just see the trophies they'd win for such a fine specimen.So off goes Buford with the hunters after him. But THOSE HORNS AGAIN! This time, though, they get him out of his dilemma in a most extraordinary and unexpected way. And make him a hero in the process.Another adventure-packed, laugh-filled book by the incomparable Bill Peet. This one for skiing enthusiasts, animal lovers, and children everywhere who have lived and giggled through all the other animal adventures in the Peet parade.
