this book was given to me as a gift a few years ago. i read it, loved it and lost it. i've searched hight and low for an 'old, original' copy of this masterpiece to no avail. it's easy for 'horse people' to fall in love with this sweet, simple, heart felt plight told by a crafty old fox. the reader actually feels the adrenalin pumping as the chase is on, and smirks confidently when cinibar has stumped his pursuers. the writing embodies a tone which only margerite henry can project. this is a classic for a five year old or a fifty year old. you needn't be a horse person...only to love animals, to treasure cinibar.

That was way back in the third grade, and I must have worn out the pages from re-reading it. Judging from the prices that this book demands in the used book market, I'm not the only one who treasures this tale of clever Cinnabar. It's a terrific book, just the kind of book that if you read it aloud to your children, you will make reading wannabes of them, because you will not have the time to read it to them as frequently as they will wish.

I recommend Cinnabar to all ages. The story is inspirational and well illustrated; a romantic view of the hunt from the fox's perspective. I first read this at the tender age of 5, and have enjoyed it ever since... more now than then, if possible!

I read this book when I was probably in the third or fourth grade.Somehow the story has stuck with me all these years. And if my memory serves me correctly the story and the pictures are wonderful.I would take this book out of the library every summer and take it on vacation. I find it hard to believe that copies are so hard to come by for a story that tugs on the heart strings of young and old.If It made a reader out of me it will make a reader out of alot of kids that get bored with reading. Everyone will absolutely love this story.... :-)
