Can someone tell me if there is anything objectionable in these books?
Thanks so much!

We listened to a couple of them on audio CD and they were wonderful. Honey for a Child's Heart lists Misty of Chincoteague; Sea Star; Stormy, Misty's Foal; and Born to Trot as suggested books in the category "Stories for Animal Lovers - Ages 9-12". It also says that Marguerite Henry is "considered by many to be the best writer of horse stories."
HTH,
Laura

I loved these stories when I was a young girl. I think anything by Marguerite Henry is good. I don't have my list in front of me, but I think Carrie recommends these as well.

We've only read the first book, but I can't think of a thing I'd call objectionable.

I can't remember anything that was objectionable either. Misty of Chincoteague, King of the Wind, and Justin Morgan Had a Horse, were all wonderful! My son thoroughly enjoyed them, and now I'm on a search for more quality horse books. He is loving Black Beauty now!
