Kid Sheriff and the Terrible Toads by Bob Shea illustrated by Lane Smith

A humorous story how Kid Sheriff and his obsession with dinosaurs puts away the three worse criminals in the western town of Drywater Gulch.
Funny ending-Mr. Shea does a great job leading up to the ending-making it somewhat predictable but not too much.
The grammar and the dialect of the terrible Toads and other townspeople bothered me a lot while I read this aloud.  It does create an authentic mood but I did not enjoy reading  it!  I can see someone else reading this aloud, really getting into the dialect and improper grammar to make it really funny to hear.
The illustrations are depicted in hues of red, orange and brown.
