The White Stallion by Elizabeth Shub

The White StallionThe White Stallion, written by Elizabeth Shub with pictures by Rachel Isadora, tells the story of young Gretchen's adventure when she fell asleep on a horse's back while her family was traveling through the Wild West in 1845.  Apparently this is a retelling of a story in Tales of the Mustang by James Frank Dobie.

Anna sat spell bound through the whole book.  I thought she might find it a bit long but she loved it.

  1. Excellent choice , Jacqueline.
    I like the book. It's simple and It's good for young readers.
    I recommend it for 7-9 year old kids who want something longer than a picture book but is still very easy to read.
    It's written in short sentences with simple vocabulary.I also think the book cover is very nice.
