 Wonderful Childhood Memories August 7, 2005
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I don't remember how old I was when my parents first bought the Misty Books by Marguerite Henry- my older sister and I were maybe around 5 and 7... but it became a family ritual to sit and read them together (more like have them read to us).
Once we had read Misty and Sea Star my parents planned a trip to Assateague and Chincoteague.
They still have "Pony Penning Day" as they did in the stories.
What a special treat to find that Stormy - Misty's Foal - was ALIVE! My sister and I got to pet a very aging, but very beautiful Stormy.
I had my Misty book signed by a member of the Beebee family. Over the years, I lost my book.
Last Christmas my Mom gave me a brand new hard-cover version of Misty to share with my young horseloving daughter.
The inside cover read "With all the love we have in our hearts, Mom and Dad"
I have since begun sharing the wonderful stories of Misty of Chincoteague and the Beebee family with my husband and daughter. They are wonderful heartwarming stories that make you laugh and cry.
Henry writes wonderful stories that will thrill horselovers both young and old. Misty is an important part of our Country's history and spirit.
I hope one day I can take my daughter to Chincoteague.
My Favorite Childhood Book June 19, 2005
3 out of 8 found this review helpful
This is my favorite childhood book out of the hundreds that I read as a child. It is a story of horses, some wild, on VA islands and the children that come to love them. It is a book about the wonderful bonds that can develop between animals and people. And it is a book where one will learn, hopefully, how to spell Chincoteague, not an easy word to learn. I read the book so many years ago that I had forgotten how to spell Chincoteague. Thank goodness for the internet and Google. I just typed in VA islands and the spelling instantly popped up before my eyes.
Can Paul and Maureen catch the Phantom and her colt? May 20, 2005
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
No one can capture the Phantom. She is the wildest mare in Assateague Island. Everyone says she can run like the wind. Paul and Maureen Beebe have their hearts on owning her. But for two years the men have unsuccessfully tried to capture her. Then Paul rides on Pony Penning Day, but the Phantom can't run as fast as usual because she has a newborn baby. Then Paul catches not only Phantom but her colt too! Can Paul and Maureen possibly buy the Phantom and her colt? Find out when you read Misty of Chincoteague.
My opinion is that if you love horses or even if you don't you should read this book. I recommend this book to everyone. I give this book 5 stars.
Misty of Chincoeague May 6, 2005
I liked this book because it influnced me to read most of the other amazing books that Marguerite Henry wrote like Sea Star.It has lots of descriptive words and it is easy to read. I have never gotten this involved in a book befor and now i'm reading it allmost evryday.
Chincoteague Misty April 18, 2005

I have read this book over and over again! It is one of the best books around. I have seen misty (stuffed) at the BeBe ranch in chincoteague. Also my pony loves to hear the story, too! Shamrock, (my pony) is a real chincoteague! You learn a lot about chincoteagues and it is fun to read. Sea Star
is all so a great book. I have done a book report on Misty.
Misty was a fun fulled little foal and a beloved horse. almost all horse people know about misty and Sea star, so you should
too!
