Thoughtful drawings and easy-to-read text capture the warmth and understanding shared by a boy… More >>
All Blaze books are great! Uses pretty small words and basic vocabulary so if you have children that can read at a first grade reading level they should be able to read these books. A third and fourth grader will probably enjoy them if they like horses but it will not be challenging.
Rating: 5 / 5
We manage a tutoring for at-risk elementary-age children. All of the Billy & Blaze books are good for us!

My son loves the Billy and Blaze series. The “adventures” they have are told in such a way that the children can imagine themselves taking part in them.
In this particular story Billy sets off to find a “lost” quarry. This one reminded me of many of the “adventures” my brother and I had as children in the forests near our grandparents farm in Montana.
It is nice to share a quiet, interesting story with my son. Most authors today seem to think they need to compete with television and movies, therefore their books seem to be nothing more than written out tv shows and action flicks.
The other thing my son and I enjoy in these books are the drawings. They are very good and realistic. We have the oppotunity to study some nice art while reading a pleasant book.

As a child (first and second grade) I read this series. Billy was without a doubt my favorite character from any of the childrens books available to me then. They are well writen, easily followed, in or out of torder. I am very please to be able to buy them for my nieces and my own child!

My son (4 next week) wanted some “Wild, Wild West” stories. I found the wonderful books by C.W. Anderson in the library. I bought several of the reprints in paperback because he loves the stories so. The gentle adventures of Billy and his pony Blaze are a wonderful way for young boys to learn the virtues of loyalty and friendship and the love of animals. In this book Billy and Blaze spend a day looking for a forgotten quarry. They have a few adventures trying to get over the overgrown trail. The quarry is as wonderful as Billy pictured. He gets a bonus – he finds a puppy running from a fox. Billy and Blaze take their new friend home. The realistic pen and ink drawings illustrating the story are very much enjoyed by my son. I’m happy to have found these books reprinted.
