Customer Reviews

Classics!

I am not as big a fan of the Blaze books as my kids are, but both of my kids really love them. Billy is a boy that loves his horse and he is very relatable. My son treasures every Blaze book he owns.

A Classic!

My 5 year old twin boys have just begun to enjoy this series of books after reading two of the Billy and Blaze books saved from my own childhood. I decided to complete the collection for them and have bought all the other books. These classic boy-and-faithful-horse-adventure stories have a timeless appeal that have been a joy to revisit for me and to discover for the first time for them.

Ideal First to Second Grade Reading Material

We purchased all of C.W. Anderson's Billy and Blaze series books for our homeschool. The story and the illustrations make this book a real "page turner". Each left-hand page has large text for easy reading, while each right-hand page has a full-page illustration to complement the story. The sentence structure and vocabulary is fairly good. This particular story is about a horse riding pre-teen boy who is on the lookout for a mountain lion who is attacking livestock. The setting is in rural America (probably midwest), and in the 1930's or early 1940's.

Great adventure with Billy and Blaze

This time Billy and Blaze set out west (for a family holiday) and encounter great boy adventures and make a new cowboy friend.Billy and Blaze books teach courage and responsibility and consideration for others. These things do seem to be lacking in a lot of children's literature these days.If you want a classic story with good values and a great storyline, this is for you and your boys.
