5.0 out of 5 stars Blaze and the Gray Spotted Pony, August 6, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Blaze and the Gray Spotted Pony (Paperback)

The is the BEST of the charming and beautiful Billy and Blaze series by CW Anderson. Billy gets a human friend this time, who loves horses as much as Billy does. This friend wants a gray spotted pony for his birthday--Billy and Blaze have to go FIND him one. It's a hackneyed plot (no pun intended, Hackney lovers) but it is done right without any silliness. But this is a Billy and Blaze book, and any collector of them know the REAL reason to buy a Billy and Blaze book are for the amazing CW Anderson pencil drawings! It is amazing to see, over the course of the series, how much this man had improved as one of the top equine artists of this country and he is sorely missed. This is a great book to read as a stress-reliever for pony loving adults, or a bedtime story for children

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for the horselover of any age!, July 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Blaze and the Gray Spotted Pony (Anderson, C. W. Billy and Blaze Books.) (Paperback)

The Billy & Blaze series was my absolute favorite in gradeschool-- the illustrations are gorgeous, and the stories are well thought out and written superbly. I remember signing this series out of the school library over and over and over again... now as an adult, I am THILLED to see it offered here at Amazon. None of these books will disappoint a horselover-- no matter what age you are!

5.0 out of 5 stars Still a child at heart, March 8, 2007

This review is from: Blaze and the Gray Spotted Pony (Anderson, C. W. Billy and Blaze Books.) (Paperback)

I read one CW Anderson book when I was a horse-crazy girl. Now I'm a horse-crazy middle-aged women. I was thrilled to find my original favorite book available on Amazon.com and enjoyed the wonderful pictures and sweet stories so much that I'm buying the whole series. Great books for kids - and wonderful books for those of us still "kids at heart" when life was simple and all you wanted to do was gallop your magic pony across the fields.
