A supposedly extinct animal who looks like a mountain in motion can be an alarming kind of friend, but Huck, the Indian boy, and his friends, Joan and Joey Brown, found that George, the shy stegosaurus, could also be very helpful.
Huck lived on an Oregon reservation with old Opalo, the former medicine man. Isolated and lonely, he was an unhappy boy until a banana and a resort vacation brought the four friends together. From that day on Huck had no time to worry about being less modern than other Indians. Picnics, fishing, and Indian wrestling (which they always let George win) kept Huck, the Browns, and George busy.
Then the party-loving shy stegosaurus with his pea-sized brain decided to look in on the Huckleberry Festival. His three pals, not sure that the reservation gathering would be happy to see their large friend, hid him under a tent—and then the fun began!
Another adventure of the delightful George and his friends, the Browns, who made their debut in The Shy Stegosaurus Of Cricket Creek.

They wanted to persuade him to remain, to explain how much he had done for them, and to assure him that the […]
