After reading Misty as a young child I have always wanted to see the wild ponies, and in the summer of 2002 my sweet husband took our family to do just that. Our four then-teenaged sons even enjoyed seeing the wonder in their mothers eyes as she experienced a childhood dream. While there we found this delightful little book and decided that if you are going to read any of Marguerite Henry's books you should have this to go along with them. Soft 32p
