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.

In my classroom I have implemented reading and the kids are loving it in the morning they have a choice of dance or book's and most of the time it's always book's which makes me very happy 😊

P.s we have loads of books in the class these are just ones a read this morning.

(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 2mo

I never read this when I was young, but my kids are definitely in a horse phase, and so it was a perfect classic to read together. Based on the true story of the ponies who survived a shipwreck and lived on an island off the coast of Virginia, the main plot is about a brother and sister who work hard to try to earn enough money to buy one of the ponies. We loved it, and were completely caught up in the adventure of Misty and her wild mom, Phantom.

MaGoose I've never read the book, either. But I've seen the horses, IRL. Amazing. 2mo
AvidReader25 @MaGoose You‘ll have to read it now! 2mo

It was wonderful re- visiting a favorite childhood author. I have saved a couple of her books- oh my, could they be 50 years old?!. ( Stormy still has the cover paper!)
Sadly, I can‘t find my Misty of Chincoteague.
Thanks @TheBookHippie for a walk down memory lane. Now to start March‘s book! #ChildrensClassicRead2025

TheBookgeekFrau Thank you for the blast from the past memories! Between me and my best friend the Misty, and Stormy books were on constant rotation in and out of the school library ☺️ 3mo
tpixie @TheBookgeekFrau yes! Such sweet stories!! I‘ve always wanted to go to Chincoteague! As a child I wanted to go, but I didn‘t want my heart to be broken that my parents wouldn‘t buy me a pony. As an adult, I was afraid to go with my children and say no to them! ( and myself! ) 3mo

TheBookHippie I love this story. I‘ve read many books on it. My grandma‘s told me about it when I was younger. A few US circus companies saved them too, as well as Jewish performers- against the US policy. Not much changes … 3mo
kspenmoll Wonderful article! Thx! 3mo
Butterfinger Thank you for sharing. 3mo
