BUFORD THE LITTLE BIGHORN

by Bill Peet ‧ RELEASE DATE: March 30, 1967

Buford was ""a scrawny little runt of a mountain sheep"" whose horns grew longer and longer until they curved around back past his front legs. Too topheavy for his nimble companions, he hid out with a herd of cattle until two hunters spotted him. Running away he tripped off a mountain, rolled over and over like a cartwheel until he hit a rock, landed upright, his feet on the horns, and skied unsteadily through a crowd of skiers--""the one and only skier ever to grow his own skis."" Buford's insecure expression and strange anatomy, the angry cows, the grinning hunters, the gay skiers , all caught in hilarious pictures--Buford could be the new Rudolph (and Bill Peet couldn't be better).
