5.0 out of 5 stars Blaze and the Forest Fire, February 28, 2010

This review is from: Blaze And The Forest Fire: Billy And Blaze Spread The Alarm (Billy and Blaze Books) (Paperback)

Back in the 30's when I was a little girl horses were my passion. I read every book I could find about them. Then I discovered C. W. Anderson's Billy and Blaze books at our local library. I read and reread them and studied Anderson's drawings of Blaze. They were my absolute favorite books of all time. Many times over the years I have mentioned these books to my daughter and granddaughter (both horse people, too). Then one day I took a chance and went to Amazon and typed in a title. To my amazement up came the list of Billy and Blaze books I so cherished; I couldn't believe they were still in print. I immediately ordered the first five titles and intend to finish out the ones you have available. I was a little surprised to see how short the stories are, but the pictures are the same. Now at 78 years old I still love these little books that gave me such joy when I was young.

I realize this is not exactly a review, it is a testimony of the love of a little girl for some books that she never forgot.

My 7 yo son loves the Billy and Blaze series. This series is an excellent one for boys. Even if you don't think they have an interest in horses.

There is great adventure, like only a boy could imagine. And the stories are not so inane that the parents reading them cry for mercy. ;-)

I recommend it and my son highly recommends it.

This review is from: Blaze and the Forest Fire (Turtleback)

C.W. Anderson has outdone himself with this Billy and Blaze story. I love most of his Blaze series with its timeless feel and innocence; what life used to be about. Blaze and Billy are put in a situation of defending the entire forest. They must make their way over hill and dale to alert the neighbouring farm. Will they make it... well I wont spoil it for you. Blaze and the Forest Fire is a unique and wonderful book. You will love it.
