The first book in the classic, beloved Billy and Blaze series, from renowned author C.W. Anderson.

Billy was a little boy who “loved horses more than anything else in the world.” Imagine how happy he was when he got his very own pony for his birthday! From that day on, Billy was seldom seen without his new friend, Blaze.

Riding through fields and woods, Billy and Blaze learned to trust and understand one another—and to jump over fences and fallen trees with ease. They were a great team, but were they good enough to win the gleaming silver cup at the Mason Horse Show?

This is the first book in the classic Billy and Blaze series. Sensitive drawings and easy-to-read words capture the warmth and gentle understanding between a boy and his horse.

    There is a sweet four-year old boy who likes to visit me at work and I purchased this as a gift for him. His mother tells me they can't get enough of the sweet story and beautiful pencil drawings and they read the book often together. When I saw her the other day, she told me they are now looking into purchasing the rest of the series. I'd consider that a gift well given and I highly recommend the Billy and Blaze books to anyone looking to brighten up a youngster's day.

    Billy is a young boy who is horse crazy, and he took every chance to ride any horse that he could. On his birthday he received a pony. It's a great story. Read it with a young person that you know that loves horses.

    Billy has got to be the the luckiest boy in the world to get a pony for his birthday! As a child, oh, how I envied Billy. The heartwarming and heroic stories and wonderfully detailed pencil drawings make the Billy and Blaze series timeless. Written in the thirties, these stories are still relevant for today's horse crazy kids. I'd like to think that these stories helped inspire my own horsemanship.

    My four-year-old son adores this book. We have read it over and over again (what little boy doesn't want his own horse and dog.) The prose is clear and simple but not silly. The pictures are wonderful and invite close inspection and study. One warning: there is a good chance that your little one is going to query when they are going to receive a horse on the front lawn for their birthday. Especially helpful for engaging otherwise reluctant readers.

    My 3-year old daughter and 5-year old son love this book even if it's written such a long time ago! It has very nice drawings in every page (I think it's pencil drawing - color black). Horses and woods are beautiful. From people, you can tell it's written in 1930s, and I wish the main character was a girl, but really, I can't complain. A simple but loving story. I'm buying the rest of the series for my kids!
