Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Favorite Childhood Book
Review: I received this book as a gift from my grandparents before I could read - around 1955 when I lived in Chincoteague Virginia. Inside it's cover, it had autographs of Grandma and Grandpa Beebe, Maureen Beebe, and a sticker that was supposedly "Misty's Hoof Print". Paul's autograph was the only one missing - I believe he died in World War II. The autographs seemed to bring it all to life for me even at a young age. This was my favorite book of childhood!! Later my family moved to Virginia Beach, and loaned the book to my fifth grade teacher to read to my class. She took it home for safe keeping, which turned out to be not so safe. A hurricane devasted her home and took my beloved Misty Of Chincoteague book out to sea.
I was devasted as well. It bothered me for years. Some 40 years later in a used book store, I came across a hardcover copy of the book - minus the autographs of course. I immediately bought it, and read it.
Years later I read it to my daughter, when she first became interested in horses. She now has a copy of her own. I'm now 52 years old and I STILL love it!!
This book is timeless, has a great message for children - set goals, work hard and and you will achieve, and goes straight to the heart of man's inate love for animals. The illustrations are simple yet precious. I HIGHLY recommend this book!!You'll find it becoming a family favorite!!

Rating: 5 stars

And when they see the so-called "Phantom", they decide to try to buy her. But what will happen on Pony Penning Day? You'll have to read it to find out! A beautiful and heartwarming story of a horse from Chincoteague Island that will simply touch your heart.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A basic for the horse-lover's library
Review: If you have a child that loves horses, you've probably already seen this book.......either brought home from the library... or in their own collection. This is one of the staples of any horse-lover's collection.

The story of Misty, a wild pony from Assateague Island off the coast of Virginia who is captured as a foal and adopted by Paul and Maureen Beebe. True story of a truly wonderful foal and her family. This story sparked three sequels that still sell millions of copies around the world.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Misty of Chincoteague
Review: In the book Misty of Chincoteague, the hearts of one little boy (Paul), and his little sister are captured when they find out that they have the chance to catch the pony of their dreams on pony penning day. Marguerite Henry, the author, really grabs the hearts of the people who love horses everywhere with the interesting surprises of this book.
On pony penning day Paul and his sister find out that you should always expect the unexpected because it is always libel to happen. When Paul takes his turn to go catch the pony he wants someone or something makes all of his dreams fall apart. When he finds that it is hard to catch a pony when you can't find it, his heart is shattered.
I would recommend this book to people who love horses very much because if you know about horses then you will be more interested in this. I liked this book because I am one of those people who love horses very much. And any book that has to do with horses then I will at least read about it than if I like it I will read it. And if I don't like it then I won't read it. Recommending is not the easiest job but when it comes to this then it is very easy to do.
So to wrap it all up there has been many surprising twists to this book. And the best part is there is more than one so I am not really saying goodbye.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: This book is good and bad.
Review: It is kind of hard to understand and not always interesting. It is about the Phantom and her kid Misty and it is mostly about the Phantom and then it becomes about her kid Misty.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Misty of Chincoteague Is the BEST!!!!
Review: Misty of Chincoteague by Marguerite Henry is a great book. It's about a boy named Paul and a girl named Mureen.They lived with thier Grandpa and Grandma on a ranch. Paul and Mureen tried to raise enough to by a wild horse named Phantom on Pony Penning Day. But on Pony Penning Day Paul went to find the Phantom. When he found the Phantom she had a colt. So he brought them both in. Every one was so happy because no one had ever cought her because she was to fast. But Paul and Mureen didn't have enough money so they tried to raise more money to buy both of them.It is one of my favorite animal books. I think it's fun, and a great family book. So you should read it for yourself, and find out if they have enough money to buy both of them.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Misty of Chincoteague/bunny
Review: Misty of Chincoteague by Marguerite Henry was published in 1947. The main characters are Pual, Maureen,a hose named The Phantom, and Phantom's colt Misty.Paul and Maureen buy Misty and her mother at Pony Penning Day ,when men from Chincoteague go up and try to get wild ponies Assateague Island. Pual and Maureen raise Misty and the Phantom on their own. Their grandpa didn't think that they could raise both of the horses on their own because they were just kids.They proved him wrong by giving a lot of their time to train them.They had to work hard on the Phantom because she was wild.Tthe two kids learned that hard work pays off.Both Pual and Maureen changed in the story.In the end the kids are more resposible and work harder.I like this book because it shows that can do things that grown-ups usuay do. I rate this book five out of five stars.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Misty of Chincoteague
Review: Misty of Chincoteague is a wonderful book for all ages. The Phantom is the wildest horse on the Island of Assateague. The "map" of the United States on her whithers and the fact that she ran like the wind made the lead mare of the Pied Piper's herd the most desirable horse on the entire island. Paul and Maureen Beebe want the Phantom, and work hard to earn the hundred dollars to buy her if she is caught. But no one can catch the Phantom, right?
Surprises are in store for the young reader, and old friends will enjoy coming back time and time again to this book for all, Misty of Chincoteague.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: All the way!
Review: Misty of Chincoteague was a really good book, but in the review above, it says, "Phantom's colt, Misty" and Misty is a mare. I really liked reading this book and it's really good!
