Editorial Reviews

From Booklist
Ages 5-8. Better to judge this by the jacket illustration than by the jacket copy, which gives away the fact that Mandy Sue is blind. The jacket, showing Mandy Sue standing near her horse, will appeal directly to young horse lovers. There's no "poster child" sentimentality in the story, which follows Mandy Sue during an autumn day on the farm as she spends time with her horse and does things many children might enjoy. Only at the story's close, when her little brother offers her a flashlight, does she reveal "I can't see." What the pictures communicate so clearly is the extent of the world Mandy Sue knows and what a day full of fun she has. Mary Harris Veeder

Review
"Karim's prose, which borders on blank verse, beautifully conveys the child's sensations and emotions. Ritz's illustrations in muted colors have an old-fashioned ambiance and and depict a warm family and the area's open landscape." -- Review

5.0 out of 5 stars farm life, March 21, 2005
This book is very interesting and wholesome. It is family life on the farm. This little girl gets to spend her special day with her best friend, a horse. This girl is also blind.
The reader does not reallize until the end of the story that Mandy Sue is in fact blind. The writer portrays Mandy Sue as a regular person, which of coarse she is. Every school should have a copy of this book. This book leaves you with a good feeling and insight that everyone is equal. The pictures are beautiful to look at and farm and family life is shown in a postive light. Mandy Sue is a happy girl who lives on a farm, and when she rides her favorite horse, she is free. She can ride fast and feel the wind in her hair. She is alive.Mandy Sue's horse gives her the opportunity to express herself and feel safe and loved by her horse.
