Last night I read "Stolen Pony", a simple story that lovers of horses, dogs, cowboys, and the like, should also enjoy. It is about a pretty pony that is stolen by horse thieves, but abandoned once it is discovered that the pony is blind. Assisted by his friend, a dog, the pony tries to find his way home. Cute story, I liked it. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

When horse thieves observe that a dog that is the constant companion of their newly "acquired" spotted pony is actually the animal's Seeing-Eye dog, they turn them both loose in the Badlands. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

The book's age is going to be a make-or-break deal for many. Being directed to children the plot is quite simple and quite undramatic compared to some of today's reads for children so it isn't one that you will have to rush to grade or worry about how it is going to affect your children.
Furthermore continuing on the same page as "The Blind Colt" there are plenty of drawings in the bottom of the pages but they are simplistic and in sense primal to what you would see in other books but it adds to the charm.
Finally the last thing I have to give for this book is that it is an animal-directed book where it is told from the viewpoint of both the pony and the dog. Glen Rounds, though, does a good job of not truly humanizing the creatures even though he gives them feelings of a sort while allowing us to get inside what they have to face with the dangers on the range. Truly a unique take on books in a "Western" theme. ( )
