Summary: Old Bones revisited
Comment: Almost 40 years after the fact, this book still holds my fascination. That's because it was the first "real" book I ever read as a child and it fired my imagination to build a lasting love of reading. I give this book my highest recommendation.
I've never owned a horse nor am I a "horse person," but this book tells an enchanting story that cuts across all lines. It's about a wonderful (horse) soul that touches lives and inspires the human spirit. You can't get much better than that. Buy it today for yourself or a child you love.

Summary: A Word of Caution If You Want This Book
Comment: I read the Thoroughbred Legends book on Exterminator and in it, the author mentions a book that she enjoyed in her earlier days about this old time racehorse, written by Mildred Pace. I found it had been reissued and was available on Amazon. However, this new version of the book was re-edited to be suited to adults who were just learning how to read, which I believe is a great idea. Long syllable words are replaced by short syllable words and sentences are very short. But understand that this is early elementary level reading.

The concept of the new version is great, but if you are interested in learning more about Exterminator, this one probably won't be satisfying to you.

Summary: Incredible reading
Comment: This is the only book I remember reading as a young child. I probably read it 20 times. I have no idea where my old copy is, but I'm ordering one for me and one for my nieces. It was a GREAT story! Both happy and sad.
