But being in charge of a real, live, but tiny, human being is a heavy responsibility, as Omri soon discovers. And when his best friend, Patrick, is let in on the secret, life-changing decisions lie ahead.

The starry partnership who brought you Harry the Poisonous Centipede is back!

Another exciting story about the poisonous friends.

After a terrible battle, many of Little Bull's warriors are wounded. Omri has to get them medical help, but he must also protect the secret of the Indian. Who would believe that the plastic toy American Indian and a plastic toy cowboy could come to life?
