    About this audiobook

    America's most hilarious sportsman returns with this collection of insights about youth, the great outdoors, and the philosophy of fileting fish. When best-selling author Patrick McManus looks at a subject, you're sure to come away with an outrageously new perspective. In "Muldoon in Love" McManus examines how third-grade crushes can have a disastrous effect on show-and-tell. In "The Big Fix" he explores the insidious relationship between women and flat tires. In "What's in a Name, Moonbeam?" he welcomes into the world a new grandchi ... er ... a new small relative. Norman Dietz's droll narration of these and two dozen more adventures by the author of How I Got This Way and The Night the Bear Ate Goombaw will have listeners-and maybe even a wolf or two-howling.

    • 5/5
      Love his humor and the narrator is perfect for the subject
    • 5/5
      This is a wonderful collection of essays by Pat McManus. I’ve read all of his books multiple times, and they only get better. This narrator does an excellent job as Pat, it sounds just like I imagined reading the books! This is highly recommended.
    • 4/5
      Read aloud with my 14 yo son over a period of many weeks. Both of us laughed out loud, even though we are not hunters or even avid campers.
    • 5/5
      Read "Muldoon in Love", the first offering in Prof McManus's latest do-it-yourself out lore book. If your not fall down hysterical there's no hope. This book is filled with McManus's usual tongue in cheek rip roaring tales of outdoor life and adventure.
    • 4/5
      Light reading at its best, these stories speak to a country girl's heart. If I wasn't doing some of the hijinks in these stories myself, I was watching my brothers or friends do them, or antics just as crazy. McManus has a fine storytellers heart and talent, I can almost smell the campfire smoke as he winds out the tale before us. Some of them had me giggling uncontrollably, which is always a good thing in my book.
    • 4/5
      Patrick McManus, a man who writes stories as memorable as the titles. Rubber Legs & White Tail-hairs is another fine collection of short stories by this master of humor. My cheeks are sore from holding a grin from beginning to end. Anyone who likes the great outdoors should not miss this book.
