In the early days of the young Unied states, Schoolmaster Justin Morgan owned a horse that became the father of the Morgan horses. One of my favorite books from childhood!

This is an awesome idea! The book tells the story of the beginning of the Letters from Dad program. I was hoping for a little more of the nuts and bolts on how to do it.

This is the second book in Price's St Simon's trilogy (her first). Any of her books are great! Her characters are very full and round. As in real life, good and evil are not segregated in separate characters. Her painstaking research enhances the story of Horace, Mary and James Gould's lives on St Simons Island during and after the Civil War. Even at the end of the story, you will want to read more!!!

It seems like people either love this book or they hate it! I learned from it, but wouldn't be comfortable recomending it without some balance.

GOod book for kids about WW2. There is suspense, and evil is shown, but in a way appropriate for children to handle.

Charming illustrations accompany the familiar poem. I read it to my daughter as a child and she wanted to replace our copy so she'd have one to read to her kids someday!
