Buford was "a scrawny little runt of a mountain sheep" whose horns grew longer and longer until they curved around back past his front legs. Too topheavy for his nimble companions, he hid out with a herd of cattle until two hunters spotted him. Running away he tripped off a mountain, rolled over and over like a cartwheel until he hit a rock, landed upright, his feet on the horns, and skied unsteadily through a crowd of skiers -- "the one and only skier ever to grow his own skis." Buford's insecure expression and strange anatomy, the angry cows, the grinning hunters, the gay skiers, all caught in hilarious pictures -- Buford could be the new Rudolph (and Bill Peet couldn't be better). - Kirkus Reviews
