Memories!

This is my favorite childhood book. I am now 26 and was discussing favorite childhood books with my husband when he said he had never heard of Chester. I ordered the book, we read it together, and he's now a Chester fan too. Can't wait to share this with our future children!

Talents

In this book, I learned not to belive in what other people say. Chester was a wild horse, he lived with other horses out in the west. Chester wanted for someone to take care of him but the other horses said that it was better to be a wild horse. Then people with ropes came and Chester asked them if they could take him but they did not take him they took the other horses. So it is better to do what you want, not what other people say.

Great early reader book

Chester really wants to be caught by the cow boys, but to his surprise they only want the wild horses that run away. this takes him on an adventure through town trying to find out what he can be helpful with. Easy to read story. Great for the beginner ready.
