Smoky the Cowhorse
Title: Smoky the Cowhorse
Author: Will James
Pages: 310
Genre: Children's Fiction, Newbery Medal
Grade: B+
Synopsis: This is the biography of a great horse that was born free and then tamed by man and enlisted as a cowhorse for many years, before finding a second and third career as well. Smoky is a very smart horse and is always analyzing his surroundings before making decisions.
My Review: This book took a little bit of effort to get into it, but then I really enjoyed it which surprised me. I'm typically not all that interested in animal books, but this one is well done.
