FROM SARAH:

This novel is based on the true story of the start of the American Morgan horse breed, originating in the Northeast. We love it both as a read-aloud and as an audiobook!

FROM THE PUBLISHER:

In 1791, a Vermont schoolmaster by the name of Justin Morgan comes home with a two-year-old colt named Little Bub. Taken as payment for an outstanding debt, the little colt doesn’t seem like he’s worth much, but the teacher asks one of his students, Joel Goss, to train the horse. Joel knows that the horse has great potential, and soon word about Little Bub spreads throughout the entire Northeast for his ability to work harder, run faster, and perform better than any horse in the area!

FROM SARAH:

Marguerite Henry wrote some of the most classic stories that have entranced horse and animal lovers for decades. This book is based on the real-life Pony Penning Days on Chincoteague Island and Assateague Islands, in Virginia and Maryland respectively, which still occurs annually. The audiobook is a great way to enjoy this book together.

FROM THE PUBLISHER:

On the island of Chincoteague, off the coasts of Virginia and Maryland, lives a centuries-old band of wild ponies. Among them is the most mysterious of all, Phantom, a rarely-seen mare that eludes all efforts to capture her—that is, until a young boy and girl lay eyes on her and determine that they can’t live without her.

The frenzied roundup that follows on the next Pony Penning Day does indeed bring Phantom into their lives, in a way they never would have suspected. Phantom would forever be a creature of the wild. But her gentle, loyal colt Misty is another story altogether...

FROM SARAH:

A classic novel by the author of Misty of Chincoteague, who based this story on a real-life Grand Canyon burro who touched even the life of President Teddy Roosevelt. The audiobook is especially well done. Read it before or after a visit to the Grand Canyon!

FROM THE PUBLISHER:

Long ago, a lone little burro roamed the high cliffs of the Grand Canyon and touched the hearts of all who knew him: a grizzled old miner, a big-game hunter, even President Teddy Roosevelt. Named Brighty by the prospector who befriended him, he remained a free spirit at heart. But when a ruthless claim-jumper murdered the prospector, loyal Brighty risked everything to bring the killer to justice.
