If I Was a Horse | Sophie Blackall

32 pages of great colorful drawings. What would you do if you were a horse. It's a cute book for 4 to 8 years old. #ISpyBingoNov @TheAromaofBooks

It was a good book haul day! Always a pleasure hitting up the bookstore with @aeeklund along for the ride. Pretty sure I cleared out most of the horse inventory at our local shop. 🤣🐎💚

I loved this book as a kid, but it's darker than I remembered. I reread it w/my kids and we were all on the edge of our seats. The author's ability to give the reader empathy for horses is beautiful. We found ourselves reflecting on how people treat animals or those with less power is a true reflection of who they are as a person.

“If we see cruelty or wrong that we have the power to stop, & do nothing, we make ourselves sharers in the guilt.”

Lcsmcat Who‘s the illustrator of your edition? Because those look a lot like the illustrations in my (old) copy of Mary Poppins! 3mo
AvidReader25 @Lcsmcat I just checked, it‘s from my childhood edition that I read over and over again. The illustrator is Fritz Eichenberg. 2mo
Lcsmcat @AvidReader25 I guess it was just the era then. Mary Shepard illustrated my Mary Poppins. I can‘t paste an example, but here‘s one https://images.theconversation.com/files/315826/original/file-20200217-11040-d1r... 2mo

I started this morning by baking these sourdough rolls and reading this book, a sequel to Misty of Chincoteague, that I happened across as we were sorting through things at my grandparents‘ house. It‘s another story of the pony penning on the island and the kids taking care of an orphaned foal.

2025 Expand Your Horizons Task - a book by author Walter Farley. This was the first in a series and was honestly so, so good. I really wasn't expecting that but the plot is fast and keeps you interested from beginning to end, suitable for any age.

(1877) I understand this was one of the first books to use first-person perspective from an animal's viewpoint, and that choice was brilliant for Sewell's project of exposing cruelties toward animals. It won't be among my favorites -- too plotless and polemic and I'm probably just too old -- but I admire Sewell's aim and her effortless prose. I get why it's a classic.

The first place that I can well remember was a large pleasant meadow with a pond of clear water in it.

1. I had two dogs growing up. Both my dad brought home for me. The first was a shaggy mixed breed that the previous owner moved and couldn't keep. I had him from around 4 years till he passed when I was 10. Then a shepherd mix , another rehome, that lived until my sophomore year in college. As an adult 7 dogs, 2 guinea pigs, and 1 cat. Also, had a pony when I was young, and 5 horses throughout my life.

TheSpineView 2. Tagged. 3. I mostly read fiction about animals but love a good animal story regardless if it is fiction or nonfiction. Play? @Cupcake12 @PageShifter @Laughterhp @DebinHawaii @kelli7990 8mo
