good memoriesAugust 25, 2008 This book contains some language that is hard for my 5 year old to understand--lots of dialect. But the story is good and there are a fair number of black and white pictures.
A great horse story!June 17, 2008 This is one of the best books for horse (and pony) crazy girls. My mom read it when she was younger and now I fell in love with it. It's a sweet story and really makes me want to go to pony penning day!
false advertisingApril 26, 2008 0 out of 2 found this review helpful
Book was advertised as hard-bound in very good condition. Book received was paperback in poor condition. This was very disappointing, as I intended the book as a gift for a young boy after describing to him that I had known Grandpa Beebe, a central character in the book. I did receive a refund of my payment and the seller chose not to pay for return of the mis-advertised item.
This book literally changed my lifeNovember 7, 2007 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
In a very real way, this book changed my life. I still remember the exact moment. I was 7 years old and went to a friend's house to play. She was reading when I got there. Reading? That was just something you did when your teacher's made you.... Well, she handed me Misty and from that moment on I was hooked. I have been an avid reader since that book showed me what amazing worlds could be found between the pages of a book.
My daughter loved it!March 3, 2007 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
We got this book for our 7 year old daughter for Christmas. She's a good reader and loves horses. She read this book to herself in three days and loved it! She told us she now knew how to "talk like a horseman!" We can always tell when she loves a book because she gets emotionally wrapped up in the story and tells us all of the drama. This book seemed to make quite an impression on her. I haven't read it myself, but can say that my daughter fell in love with it.
