What DOES a person say about a classic? This is the story of a wonderful, beautiful, gentle horse, told from his own point of view, written to expose the cruelty to horses at the time. I would forewarn any parent of a horse lover to consider thier child's maturity level before handing them this book. There are violent and depressing scenes, the use of alcohol, and a terrifying barn fire. I allowed my 10yo to read it, but she's the founder and president of Save the Babies Kids' Club. It's not something I would hand my 8yo. She's still too tenderhearted. It is, though, required reading for horse lovers of any age.
