Ten thousand white horses go racing to shore,
ten thousand white horses and more.

Ten thousand white horses go bolting to shore,
ten thousand white horses and more.

Lines like this are sprinkled throught the book.
The action changes from racing to rushing to
thundering to bolting and so forth as that same
line is repeated. The story is told in a galloping
rhythm that kids love.

The art work is great. They are the kinds of pictures
that you can look at again and again and see more details
that you missed the first times.

My kids and I love the way it is written and the art work!

I bought this at a store instead of at amazon.
The picture here doesn't show the quality of the art work very well. At least it doesn't on my computer. The art work is great. The color is a warm ocean blue. I'm excited about reading this to the kids when we go to the beach this summer. It is a wonderful story that kids love to hear again and again. They love to look at the details in the pictures. The writer and artist did a great job. I just wish the pictures showed up better on my computer. It is much better than it looks here.

I enjoy this delightful tale as much as my daughter does.
It is fun to read it out loud to her. I can really caught up in the action of catching a wave and riding it to shore. The language catches the feeling of the galloping horses. My daughter and I love horses and we love this book.

It would make a great Christmas present to anyone who loves horses.

As the author, there were several titles I considered but had to abandon... amazingly, though "WOLF" was in their titles, these other books had nothing about a wolf. In one case, the story was about a criminal in the Southwest who somehow reminded the author of a wolf(!)

But my research shows me that the wolf is a noble animal -- I so try to portray "Kai-No" and his relationship with Trapper; they are huge, powerful specimens of their species. And though each is sort of a fugitive from his own kind, they form a bond that enables them to survive in the cruel arctic climate.

They do encounter some frightening experiences... I hope you will read about them and enjoy them...

A mesmerizing fictional account of a fugitive trapper who is befriended by a wolf. The author follows them in their travels through the heartland of Alaska and the Yukon Territory. Ultimately, the trapper and wolf settle down in the wilderness. and the trapper's long lost daughter finds him. A fine easy read. This gives the reader what would seem to be in many ways a sequel to the well known movie "Challenge to be Free".

Many books these days include the word "WOLF" in their titles, yet have nothing to do with the ANIMAL. Here is a book that takes you into the heart and soul (and intelligence) of the wolf.

Finding a secluded valley in the Far North gives the man and the wolf introduction to a world only dreamt of heretofore... no killing in this valley (well, except for fish). But the strange couple have many obstacles to overcome. And they do overcome one of the strangest events ever included in a "Far North" story... only "The Alaska Incident" comes close.

This reader had never tackled an "e-book" before, but the author and publisher have come up with a new development that is easy on the reading... you can select a print size and color, and even a scroll speed that lets you read as you wish, without touching the computer. And you can even mark your place...

Congratulations, Blue Knight Enterprises, for a great yarn!

This is a question and awnser book that is eazy to read and awnsers questions that every deer hunter has asked him self a dozen times before.This would be a good book for kids to read.When it comes to deer Leonard Lee Rue is my guru.Great book Leonard !

Excellent Q and A on the Whitetail and other wild life.A must for those who appreciate the wild.

This book is a question and answer book. The entire book is full questions about the whitetail deer. Leonard usually has data to support his answers to the questions in his book. He also gives other people credit when he uses an answer that he learned from their studies. This is a great book for either beginners or experienced hunters. I have been hunting for 14 years and I learned a lot of things from this book.

This book expresses the true emotion, true challenges, and compelling life experiences of Lee G. Edwards. It gives a very real and powerful illustration of what it's like to go through life constantly faced with social and personal challenges. This book raises the awareness of albinism and has something everyone can identify with. Lee makes himself very transparent and beause of this raw vulnerability, anyone reading this book will be touched and take a peice of Lee's experiences with them.

A compelling read!!! With our national debate on race dominated by "black and white" issues, this book is a real eye opener. It provides an entirely new take on prejudice and discrimination in America today.
Imagine being forced to exist in a never-never world where you have no race to call your own, a world in which you are not only subjected to white discrimination, but those in your own community--including your own father--cannot accept you because you are not black enough. I have never read a stronger indictment of the insanity of racism. Mr. Edwards writes passionately, with raw honesty, generously offering his own trauma and recovery to give others hope A must read for anyone who says they care about social justice.

READING THIS BOOK WAS AN ISPIRATIONAL AND EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE! I WOULD SUGGEST THAT EVERYONE READ THIS BOOK. IT SHOWS HOW WE AS A NATION ARE SO JUDEMENTAL WHEN SOMETHING DOES NOT LOOK RIGHT TO US. IT ALSO SHOWS HOW A PERSON CAN BE SO GRAVELY EFFECTED BY THE IGNORANCE OF OTHERS. I THINK WE SHOULD ALL REMEMBER THIS COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN OUR CHILD. AND HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF YOUR CHILD WAS TREATED ON DAY TO DAY BASIS AS THIS YOUNG MAN HAS BEEN AND STILL IS TREATED? IT IS TRULY FOOD FOR THOUGHT. AND STILL WITH ALL THAT HAS HAPPENED TO HIM, HE STILL HAS A POSITIVE AND OUTGOING ATTITUDE AND WISHES TO EDUCATE OTHERS SO CHILDREN DO NOT HAVE TO SUFFER LIKE HE HAS BEEN MADE TO. THAT IS WHY I AM GIVING THIS AUTHOR FIVE STARS HE TRULY DESERVES IT AND HIS WRITING SKILLS ARE OUTSTANDING!

Gene Lees strikes me as one of the more level-headed individuals in jazz. This alone should make him an outsider. Like it or not, the hard-core jazz word is these days filled with elitists, racists (mostly reverse these days), and people protecting their territory. When I see the doings and hear the rantings of the likes of Stanley Crouch and other pretentious jazz writers and "social critics," I am reminded of the character of Max Mercy from Bernard Malamud's novel (and the movie) The Natural...Mercy isn't interested in baseball and has never played a game, but stirring up controversy using baseball as his medium keeps him in the spotlight and makes him rich. Crouch is much the same way--would any of us have heard of him, would he have a tenth of his current income and notoriety were he not clutching the coattails of a currently well-known jazz musician? Lees discussion of Crouch, of other figures in jazz history, and his inside stories about the jazz world and the psyches within it are like a bucket of cold water. But don't get the impression this is a kiss-and-tell book or something scandalous...Mr. Lees is actually a rather level headed individual. A must read for anyone not in any "camp" or defending any "turf" but who just loves music and musicians. And yet I see it's already out of print. I guess people like whitewashed histories better... Pity.

Gene Lees has steadily built a reputation as one of the finest of all writers on jazz. This intelligent, thoughtful, and insightful look at current attitudes on the part of jazz musicians towards race and racial bias is firmly grounded in historical research without being pedantic. Part of the success of this book comes from its organization -- many of the chapters are profiles of musicians and musical scholars which are incidentally used to illustrate the issues under consideration. Whether or not one finally agrees with Lees' premise -- that we have reentered a period of "reverse racism" in jazz -- the quality of the interviews and interviewees makes this an important book, and a wonderful read in the process.

This book is an incredibly charming read, made even better by the beautiful pictures. I enjoyed it so much that I have given several copies of this book to friends and family. When I grow up (?), I want to be an archaeologist!!

Thank you, Naomi Miller, for giving me many evenings of pleasure.

Amazon.com had a mistake in the listing (since corrected) which prompted me to write and take the opportunity to transmit what my friends say about the book (I, of course, would be too prejudiced to write my own review):

One of the people pictured in the book wrote to me: "Thanks a million for your wonderful book. I've just spent a while taking refuge from a grumpy evening by flipping through it, pausing to read about the parts of your life I don't know. How wonderfully generous of you to enshrine us like this, with such precise evocation of time, space, foolishness & purpose."

Another friend wrote:"Your lovely book of drawings and watercolors arrived yeaterday. [We] were immediately entranced by the images and text--such an amusing, informative down-to-earth description life on the dig. The watercolors are really wonderful, but I've always known that.... I had never seen the Shiraz bazaar or Malyan village scenes. Then there are all the pals: ...--they evoke such memories! Is that Dash, the Wonder Dog, on the back cover? Remember, he had a "thing' for you, invading your bedroom with his cargo of fleas! And there he is, wagging his tail at your photograph. Plate 16 is a sweet rendering of my favorite view of Yassihöyük. The Euphrates views are as close as I ever need to get to that old river. Finally, I love all the little sketches scattered throughout--especially the birds and animals. Thanks again for the originals, which I treasure, and thanks for the book. ..."

And another friend wrote: "...Your book is wonderful: your narrative is a delight to read and you know how much I admire your watercolors--each is exquisite w/ great sureness of line, balance of composition pacing & repetition that makes a whole of the multi-paneled ones, and of course great use of colors to die for. I love them! I am lucky to have seen many in incomparable person but there were some that were new to me--the luminosity of the originals and your wonderful backlighting were undiminished in reproduction. Of course we love best of all discovering new things in the plates with each reading.
Congratulations in getting your book out. I am so happy that everyone else will get to share in the pleasure of looking at them.
Thank you again, I am most proud to possess a copy so wonderfully inscribed!"

I won't bore you with the rest of the rave reviews!

Great for helping you to relize the importance of a layout.
Planing ahead is something I didn't usually do.

What a great rescource for someone trying to make those needed changes. Just getting started is aleays the most difficult of any task. This book assists in getting anyone well on their way.

Every living being sleeps, from the bear in his dark cave, fish among the water ferns, and horses standing up switching their tails, to the snowy crane who sleeps standing on just one leg, turtles inside their shells, seals with their flippers against blocks of ice, and of course little boys and girls. Originally published in 1958, Charlotte Zolotow's Sleepy Book is as fresh and wonderful today as it was over 40 years ago. Her simple, gentle text is full of imagery and magic, and complemented by brand new, evocative illustrations. Artist, Stefano Vitale, has really captured the essence of Ms Zolotow's poetry with engaging pictures of sleeping animals in quiet, subdued tones. Together, word and art create a soothing and comforting bedtime story that will lull little ones off to dreamland. "...but little boys/ and girls,/ when the night/ comes/ and the wind/ whispers gently/ in the trees/ and the stars/ sparkle and shine,/ sleep/ warm under/ their blankets/ in their/ beds."

This is one of the best books I have ever read for children of all ages. I read it to my children and now I would like to read it to my grandchildren. My children adored this book and it always put them to sleep at night and made bedtime enjoyable!

I picked this book up because of the back flap, and feel in love with it...It makes Wraith seem more like a real adventure and less like a game of rules and rolling dice. I think anyone who likes supernatural tales with down-to-earth protagonists would like Caravan of Shadows...

Dark Castle, White Horse is actually an omnibus edition of two unrelated YA fantasies by the versatile Tanith Lee.

Castle of Dark is a rather dark fantasy dealing with the mysterious curse of Lilune, a girl who has had practically no experience of the outside world due to her confinement by two hags and her strange inability to stand sunlight. When she escapes with the aid of the harper Lir, all sorts of strange incidents happen in her wake. Overall, quite enjoyable, though I would have liked a bit more sympathetic heroine.

Prince on a White Horse is an almost frivolously light fantasy offering from Lee that reminded me quite strongly at bits of The Phantom Tollbooth. There's an odd cast of idiosyncratic characters including three types of vicious animals (Buzzles, Beezles and Bezzles), a prince who can't remember his name or purpose, three moons (none of which are round) and a wise talking white horse that continuously insists that horses don't talk. It's a quest type adventure to rid the world of the menace Nulgrave, of whom everyone is afraid though they don't know why. I liked this better than Castle of Dark; it was just more fun to read.

All in all, quite a worthy 2-in-1 book. If you can find it and like Tanith Lee's YA fantasy, Dark Castle, White Horse should be thoroughly enjoyable.
