Someone or something is raiding Sally May's watermelon patch. Slim decides that Hank and Drover are the perfect team to protect the patch from the nightly intruder. Hank finds himself in a sticky predicament when he is tricked by the watermelon bandit. Will Hank save the day or get caught with his paws in watermelon juice? The cost to run the series is $100 for newspapers with a circulation of 5,000 and less; $300 for newspapers with 5,001 - 100,000 circulation; and $500 for newspapers with circulation of 100,001 or more. This serialized story contains 14 chapters and 15 illustrations. Newspapers interested in running the story must sign a contract prior to receiving the story and illustrations. The story and illustrations are currently available for publishing. Telephone interviews with Mr. Erickson can be arranged through Jody Logsdon. (806) 435-4802

Hank can also bring visitors to your website!
Three interactive on-line activities to accompany The Watermelon Patch Mystery will only be available to the subscribers of participating newspapers.
These activities are targeted at 3rd-5th grade students but, like the Hank the Cowdog books, people of all ages in your community are sure to go to your Internet site to enjoy these fun games.
Pricing for these online activities is based on circulation. If you paid $100 for the Watermelon Patch, your cost would be $75, if you paid $300, your cost would be $175, if you paid $500, your cost would be $300. The price includes the files which will remain on your site for the entire time your paper is running the series plus 30 days following the conclusion of the story. Or we can set up a link on your site which will take your subscribers to a secure area of hankthecowdog.com.
