Brighty of the Grand Canyon Donkey Burro Book

by Marguerite Henry
Publisher: Aladdin (1991) ISBN-10: 0689714858
Marguerite Henry's book is based on actual incidents in the life of a Grand Canyon burro. Brighty loves his life of independence along the Bright Angel Creek for which he was named, going to the rim in the summer and down to the canyon floor in winter. He is present as President Theodore Roosevelt discusses the beauty and grandeur of the Canyon and how it should be preserved for the American people. Brighty is the first to walk the historic bridge connecting the north and south rims. Befriended by prospectors, government men and campers, Brighty alternately helps his friends and runs free as the spirit moves him. His friend and companion, Old Timer, a prospector, is murdered by a claim jumper. A saddened Brighty searches for the killer, an adventure which runs through the book. This will fill children's minds with the sights, sounds, and smells of the grand Canyon in the early 1900's.

by Marguerite Henry
Publisher: Aladdin (1991) ISBN-10: 06897148566
Marguerite Henry, author of Misty of Chincoteague, tells the story of the Godolphin Arabian. He was named "Sham" for the sun, this golden-red stallion born in the Sultan of Morocco's stone stables. Upon his heel was a small white spot, the symbol of speed. But on his chest was the symbol of misfortune. Although he was as swift as the desert winds, Sham's proud pedigree would be scorned all his life by cruel masters and owners. This is the classic story of Sham and his friend, the stable boy Agba. Their adventures take them from the sands of the Sahara to the royal courts of France, and finally to the green pastures and stately homes of England. For Sham was the renowned Godolphin Arabian, whose blood flows through the veins of almost every superior thoroughbred. Sham's speed, like his story, has become legendary.

Brown Sunshine of Sawdust Valley Mule Horse Book

by Marguerite Henry, Illustrated by Bonnie Shields
Publisher: Aladdin, 1998, ISBN-0-689-80779-1
Molly Moore wants nothing more than to own a sleek, fancy show horse, so when her family buys a skinny old mare at a local auction, she's very disappointed. In due time, however, the mare blooms with good health and produces a surprise for Molly's family, a baby mule. Brown Sunshine becomes a handsome mule, inspiring Molly to write an award-winning essay on the history of these animals. The story is pleasant and predictable, with the somewhat sentimental dialogue and description typical of this genre. The plot moves quickly enough for readers who need encouragement. Black-and-white drawings appear on most pages and capture the action and spirit of the text. A good addition for libraries with avid Henry fans.
