Detailed product description

"A blend of Steinbeck's short gem, The Red Pony, and Rawling's The Yearling. . . . This novel has sentiment and quality."-- Donald Gordon A timeless favorite of adults and children alike, My Friend Flicka resides in "that borderland where some of the best-loved books in the English tongue hold their immortality." (New York Herald Tribune) A daydreamer and a time waster, young Ken McLaughlin spends his days on his family's Wyoming ranch with his head in the clouds, surrounded by endless blue skies, wide-open spaces, and beautiful horses. To his brusque, practical father, the boy is an enigma and a disappointment. Then one day, Ken's life is filled with new purpose when he finds Flicka, a magnificent filly as wild as she is fast. Though the strong bond between boy and horse only fuels his father's disdain, Ken's growing love for his friend Flicka is changing him--leading a once-aimless young man down the path to responsible adulthood, forging a new respect and understanding between father and son, and inspiring a fierce loyalty that nearly costs Ken his life.

Classic Horse Story for Young People
(5)
Reviewed in the USA on 2011-07-25T17:00:00

I am using "My Friend Flicka" to interest several young gentlemen in reading, since they are into horses. The vocabulary is just challenging enough to where we can learn some new words as we read along. The drawings are very nice, and we've already tried to duplicate some of them and have mounted our drawings on the wall. Of course this is a classic old story, originally published around 1940, but it is a timeless classic, interesting to children of any time period, especially those who have some experience around horses. It teaches kindness to animals which our students today need to learn more about. I am glad to have this book available when I work with students to read together, a little at a time. This is a paperback book, easy to hold in our hands as we read it. The sentences are long, often one sentence being one paragraph, which encourages students to write longer sentences and be more expressive in their own writing. I often stop to ask the student what a pronoun refers back to so they learn about antecedents with pronouns. Also I stop to ask them what the author meant in a certain paragraph to monitor comprehension.
