## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Molly Shares her Story.  Excellent in Every Way!
*by E***L on July 19, 2010*

This book is very well written by Pam Kaster, who also provided the photographs, and she is qualified to do so, being a member of the Equine Photographers Network.  Her words are well chosen for young children, but I can't imagine anyone of any age not finding the book fascinating until the very end where, in the section, "More about Molly", we are informed that Molly "is a cross between a Shetland Pony and an Appaloosa," and was 18 years of age when she was rescued in 2005.  The average life span of a pony is 25 years.There are many photographs of this very brave horse, some of them taken even before the amputation of her front leg below the knee took place, which was necessary due to a dog bite.  After she received a prosthetic limb (it took three tries to get it just right), black and silver with a round rubber hoof having a smiley face on the bottom, it took a while for her to adjust to it, but now she even trots.  I don't know if I've ever seen such excellent page design in a children's book (maybe the books of Jan Brett are an equal), which incorporates the smiley face of the hoof bottom, and each time one turns a page, the next two pages are of a different color, all of them pretty.  The book cover design, by Michelle A. Neustrom, does justice to Molly as she looks right out at the viewer while standing on her prosthetic limb as if saying "Hello!".  An elastic wrap is used to support the other front leg as now it has to bear more weight.  But Molly has learned to shift some of this weight to her hind legs.  A very smart and loveable horse!Now she is helping others therapeutically as others have helped her.Molly is the winner of the 2008 ASPCA® Henry Bergh Children's Book Award in the Nonfiction Humane Heroes category!This is a very special story and a very special book.  So glad I ordered it so I could meet Molly.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Molly the true survivor
*by E***E on April 9, 2014*

The story of Molly is one of pluck and determination of not only the hosre herself but of those who made it their mission to save her adn give her a good life after the horrors of Katrina and it's aftermath.  I gave it to my great nephews to help them learn that sometimes life will take you through many hard experiences but that love of life and good friends will bring you on to a good life.  Plus she is just an amazing horse.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Molly, The Pony
*by C***E on September 7, 2008*

This is the incredible story of Molly, a Pony of the Americas, who survived for 2 weeks with no care after Hurricane Katrina. Then she was rescued and taken to a farm, where she was attacked by a brutal dog.  Her leg had to be removed. She was fitted with a prosthetic device--complete with a smiley face on the bottom of her "hoof." She was very patient while she was fitted.  Now she goes to nursing homes and children's homes and brings a smile to their faces.  It brought tears to my eyes. I love the pictures too. What a magnificent story!!
