Customer Reviews

My 6-yearold horse lover loved this book

I didn't think my 6-year old could sit through, listening to this book, but she was begging for more. Even with only one picture per chapter. The two girls, Mary and Jody, share a special kinship with the colt, Star, and each other. The adult is played by Willie, a gruff but gentle cowhand. You get to experience taking care of Star as a baby colt from weaning him from mama's milk to teaching him manners. The story is very gentle climaxing where Star is rescued after having mistakenly boarded a truckload of calves headed for the veal factory. Wonderful storytelling.

My Daughter LOVED these books!

My daughter, who is 9, & a horse-lover, LOVED this series of books! This is the first series of horse books that she can't wait to pick up the next one! I like the fact that JoAnn Dawson teaches about the world of horses & horse care through her stories, & that each book has a glossary of horse terms in the back (for us moms!). I highly recommend her books to anyone with a young person who loves horses!
