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.
I teach high school students that have cognitive disabilities and we read Billy and Blaze stories often during free reading time. The adventures are engaging for them. I wish other C.W. Anderson books were back in print!
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.
Billy and Blaze love to explore the woods. Sometimes they go where other folks have not been for a long time. One day, a man tells Billy about an old abandoned quarry. Can Blaze and him find it? When they do, who do they end up rescuing?Originally published in 1966, this is the eighth book in a series of eleven. Delightful black and white illustrations that truly help bring the story to life. Although about a boy and his horse, this book is suitable for both boys and girls. Great as a read aloud for younger children or for independent readers who are getting used to reading by themselves.The only thing I would mention is that this book mentions that Billy has now discovered "a wonderful place to swim." Most of us parents would probably no longer encourage our child to swim in a quarry pool, especially since this one has steep sides and most definitely not by themselves. Just keep in mind that this book was written many, many years ago before so many of the concerns and dangers of today were around. Don't miss out on this great book, but just be ready to answer your child should they question you about swimming in a quarry.
In my opinion, the entire Billy and Blaze collection is nice for the whole family to enjoy. Children ages nine and under might enjoy these stories the most. Perhaps, children age 10 and up may find the reading and stories too simple. However, I enjoyed reading the stories with my children (ages 2 - 7), and they thoroughly enjoyed the stories as well.
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 grade one students love the Billy and Blaze books, so I recently purchased a few more. This particular one (Lost Quarry)has some kind of issue with the binding, however. Two separate copies of the book are bound into one. I thought I had additional pages to read, but when I checked, they were just pages I'd already read. Just cheaply put together.
The Billy and Blaze books were part of my childhood and I was so excited to see them online. I was expecting only to find old, worn out copies because I didn't know they still printed the book. However, the ones I purchased were brand new and excellent quality. I was very happy with this product.
