When concert halls lose their popularity, opera singer Carlotta Carusa packs up her things and takes her talent out west in this hilarious and exciting picture book from Candace Fleming. What's an opera singer to do when the appeal of performing in concert halls wears thin? Go west, of course! And sure as shootin', that's what Carlotta Carusa does. Out on the prairie, Carlotta finds all the adventure she's been craving: snarling wolves, disastrous droughts, and that no-good skunk villain Skullneck Sam.
But fear not, there's nothing more satisfying than watching a feisty heroine, armed with a good melody and a heap of confidence, tame the untamable.
Westward Ho, Carlotta! is an outrageously silly Wild West adventure sure to make any kid as happy as a tick on a hound dog!
