Joel Goss knows that Little Bub is a special colt, even though he's a runt. And when schoolteacher Justin Morgan asks Joel to break the colt in, Joel is thrilled! Soon word about Little Bub has spread throughout the entire Northeast -- this spirited colt can pull heavier loads than a pair of oxen. And run faster than thoroughbreds! This is the story of the little runt who became the father of the world-famous breed of American horses -- the Morgan.
Marguerite Henry (1902–1997) was the beloved author of such classic horse stories as King of the Wind , Misty of Chincoteague , and Stormy, Misty’s Foal , and her work has won several Newbery Awards and Honors. Wesley Dennis was best known for his illustrations in collaboration with author Marguerite Henry. They published sixteen books together.

Great!
It was pretty good! I really enjoyed it! It’s kind of hard to read at some points so I would say that you’ll enjoy it more if your 13 years old or older.

Very sweet story
I owned a little Morgan horse that was the spitting image of his sire, who was the spitting image of Justin Morgan. My horse had the long tail that dragged on the ground, stocky build, small curved ears, and loved being the center of attention. Reading this book reminds me of horse from long ago and my passion for riding. It also reminded me of growing up in Maine and the unique New England expressions. I can just picture the accents. I am so glad I found this book. I’m looking forward to reading more. Yeah, it’s a little silly for a grown woman to be reading kids books, but it brings back memories of my childhood.
