Bookroo's summary

Sally May leaves the ranch under Slim's watchful eye, but his nap sets off a chain of chaotic events. Hank and Little Alfred's ice cream experiment spirals into an unexpected spaceship journey. As Slim awakens, Hank must save him from peril and face the wrath of the Hooking Bull. Can they navigate these wild escapades and return to normalcy?

From the publisher

Against her better judgement, Sally May leaves the ranch in Slim’s care. While Slim naps, Hank and Little Alfred subject strawberry ice cream to rigorous product testing and then go for a ride in a mysterious spaceship. But it’s when Slim finally awakens that their adventures really begin. Hank saves Slim from sure death, endures a terrible whipping from the Hooking Bull, and much, much more.
