"Bonnie was her name, and lovely as it is it did not begin to describe the golden glory of her coat or the snow-white ruff that framed her gentle face." Of interest to collectors, this book introduces twenty-five breeds plus "mongrels." Discussion of each dog's appearance, characteristics, and history is accompanied by a full-page, full-color picture and black-and-white spot art. Originally titled Wagging Tails.

This reissue of the 1946 Newbery Honor book tells of the first Morgan horse--small but strong with plenty of personality--and the boy who loves him. Vermont in 1791, and the young country, are characters here, as well. America, like the Morgan horse, is small but determined. The paintings use light to express strong emotions.

King of the Wind is a fictionalized life of the Godolphin Arabian, founder of the Thoroughbred breed. Sent to Europe by the sultan of Morocco, Sham and his stable boy are hard used before Sham's quality is recognized. This edition of the Newbery winner features generous trim and white space, the original illustrations, and a scrapbook of Henry photos.

Awarded a Newbery Honor in 1948, the beloved horse story about two children whose hearts are set on a particular pony and her foal at Pony Penning Day is here reissued in a handsome edition featuring good quality paper, a large layout, and the original illustrations and color plates. An introduction by Henry's friend and neighbor, Susan Foster Ambrose, and photos of Marguerite Henry with the real Misty provide context.
