Looking for Animal Tales
Okay! Let's move into the animal kingdom! One of the hottest themes in books and movies these days seems to be animal stories - "Marley and Me", "Dewey", "The Art of Racing in the Rain", "The Story of Edgar Sawtelle" - and on and on. So, dear RAVALA members, the question of this week is what is/was your very favorite animal book or movie and why. Please contribute and share with all of us!
I'm a horse lover, and growing up I was enthralled with Marguerite Henry's story for children, "King of the Wind", the gripping adventure of Sham, the Arabian, who was born to run and who became the ancestor of some of the greatest Thoroughbreds. Then of course, there was "My Friend Flicka" ( a great coming of age story that showcases Wyoming) and its sequels. These are just a few among my favorites. How about anyone else out there in RAVALA land?
