- "If only the young roadrunner had paid attention to his parents' good advice. Then maybe he wouldn't have had the unfortunate run-in with the rattler that left him with feet so swollen his parents had no choice on the day of the naming. What else could he be called except Thunder? It's enough to make a roadrunner wallow in self pity and give up. But the only thing bigger than Thunder's feet is his heart, and with some not-always-gentle goading from a wise, old gopher tortoise named Berland, he finds the courage to go forward and seek his destiny - and to become the stuff of legends."@en
- ""After a young roadrunner is bitten by a rattlesnake, his feet swell to an enormous size. At first this seems to be a handicap as he stumbles around the desert and nearly ends up as a meal for a coyote. After taking the advice of a wise old tortoise, though, the roadrunner, now called Thunderfoot, undergoes an exercise program, making his legs and wings much stronger than the average roadrunner's. The newly pumped-up Thunderfoot hammers the local predators and winds up his days as a legendary figure in the animal world. Wallace creates a lively fantasy, with a cliff-hanging closing for nearly every chapter. Along the way, he slips in some facts about the life of roadrunners and the natural world of the desert as well as Native American rituals."--Booklist."@en
