Product Description

When Pedro spies Chucaro, the pink pony, on the Pampa, he can hardly believe his eyes. Unfortunately, the estancerio's son is as determined as Pedro to own the pony. But, as the wisest gauchos know, ponies as special as Chucaro can never truly be owned--and Chucaro alone will decide who has the privilege of riding him.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great book about wild horses, September 13, 2000
By A Customer
This is a really good book about people from Argentina and wild horses. I had to read this book for a class, but I truly enjoyed the book. Not only is this book multicultural it's also informative about the culture and how these people deal with horses, their line of work. Anyone interested in horses and how they catch and tame wild horses would enjoy this book. The story is mainly about one boy's journey and his wild horse, Cucharo. After the little boy finds Chucaro, he must endure hardship and make tough decisions, all for the love of his horse.

3.0 out of 5 stars more non-fiction than fiction, March 7, 2005
By spacedog "spacedog7" (boston, ma United States) - See all my reviews
i found this book to be a bit disappointing. the descriptions about it sounded like it was going to be an adventure story of some sort about a boy and his horse. in reality the book reads more like non-fiction, with the narrative taking a definite second status to factual information about gauchos on the pampas of south america and their way of life, including their work, what they wear and eat, and how they entertain themselves. the information isn't very detailed, but as an overview for children it has vivid images, although younger readers may get bored at the lack of sustained plot and conflict.
