Midnight, Champion Bucking Horse. par Sam. Savitt
Another one I saved to read to the boys. I have to sprinkle these horse books in so they don't get tired of them. This is the story of a bucking horse that gets sold to the rodeo and the many men who owned him and who tried to ride him. The boys enjoyed it.
I enjoy reading so-called "children's" books: most of the time I find them entertaining, diverting, even if they are written on a simpler level. However, Born to Race is truly a book best suited for a young child of 7-9, especially if they are interested in race horses and want to learn more.
Vicki is 13 and wants her own horse, although her true love is Pat, her father's big black thoroughbred hunter.
After saving her money for a year in order to buy her own pony, she winds up spending all her savings to buy an abused Shetland too small for her needs. But Pat and and the pony, Jesse, become best friends, so what can Vicki do?
This is a simple yet pleasant horse and girl story, and a cut above the average.

As you might be able to tell with just a cursory glance at my library list, I enjoy reading books about animals. I especially like and prefer those stories which portray critters as they truly are.
"Midnight Champion Bucking Horse" is one of those true-to-life books, telling the life story of a champion rodeo horse from the early 1900s, as shared through the reminisces of three men who knew Midnight personally.
Lavishly illustrated by the superb Sam Savitt (who also authored), this book is a treat for young or old or in-between, and especially those who love horses.… (plus d'informations)
