Summary: Julie loves it!
Review: A few people in my class are reading the book. I think it is great because it shows the courage of kids who are training a three year old wild horse and her filly. During the story I thought how mean it would be to take the colts from their mothers. Then I learned that sooner or later colts will get kicked by their mothers to keep them from drinking milk. This book can teach you a lot of things you didn't know before. I love this book

Summary: Misty of Chincoteague
Review: From the dad of an eight-year old daughter: "Misty of Chincotegue" is a cute and engaging story about a young brother and sister, who live with their grandparents and find a love and yearning for a special horse. It contains interesting plot developments and the local color and imagery is well done. My children's parochial school, St. Piux X in Norfolk, VA., requires this novel as one of it's pre-4th grade summer reading selection. My daughter and I read it and discussed it together. The vocabulary is alligned with the age group. The novel is complimented through its charming use of local dialect and customs of Chincoteague. I like the way the two young principle characters work and earn their way toward their goal. It's also not too difficult a read nor is it dumbed down, consequently, it doesn't include all of the political "rightness" and indoctrination that permeates our culture and media. It is delightfully non-offensive and reinforces many of the values I support, therefore, I would recommend that you read it with you child(ren). Who doesn't like a good story about a horse?

Summary: 25 yrs and going strong
Review: I first got the book Misty when I was about 10. Then of course all my friends and I had to get the Breyer models and etc. Just a few weeks ago I bought the audio-cassette version of Misty and listened to it as I was travelling to Chincoteague for my first Pony Penning Day. I toured all the Misty spots. I realized Misty is a part of my consciousness! I have all the Marguerite Henry books and Breyer horse models which I plan to give to my daughter one day.

Summary: Educational Use of Misty of Chincoteague
Review: I have written a companion book of educational activities to go along with Misty of Chincoteague. It can be found in teacher supply stores and is published by Teacher Created Materials. It is good for both teachers and home schooling parents. Marty Beatty Sanders

Summary: My absolute favorite book ever!
Review: I love Misty of Chincoteage, and all of the books in Margurite Henry's Misty series. The fact that this series is based on real people and horses makes it even more wonderful. This first book is probably my favorite of the series. Anyone can not help but love this book, especially horse-lovers.

Summary: A Timeless and Memorable Children's Story
Review: I read this when I was about 8, and I remember it fondly and clearly 34 years later. Even more, when I see anything about Chincoteague, Asateague, or the pony round-up, I have to remind myself that I was never there. Man and Nature, wild and tame - here's a good launching point story for you to discuss these issues with them. Read the book with your children. You'll never forget it, and neither will they.

Summary: Best book I ever read-Jamie
Review: I really like the book Misty because I really like horses and colts. I think the book was good also because Marguerite Henry was a good author. The climax is: Will Paul and Maureen ever get to get the Phantom to her colt at Penning Day? My first opinion is I think Misty is the best for kids to read. My second opinion is: People that love horses should read the book Misty. My last opinion is: Misty was the best book I have ever read. Jamie
