To some people, that would be a wonderful thing to receive, but Justin didn't need a horse. He needed money. One might say, "Sell the horse"-- but that's just the problem. No one wants to use their money on a small, VERY small , scrawny animal, who is weak If you went to Vermont, back in the time of the late s No one wants to use their money on a small, VERY small , scrawny animal, who is weak and cannot work like other horses. Since no one will buy poor Little Bub, Justin is indeed stuck with him. See what can happen that turns this story upside-down when Justin Morgan's friend decides to help out. Why, even President Monroe takes notice! This book tells a true story. I liked the book because while I was reading it, I knew that it actually happened.

A wonderful, touching horse story that I somehow missed reading in my preteen and early teen horse loving years.

Jul 31, Jenny rated it liked it Shelves: children-s-books , newbery. I liked but didn't love this story. I appreciated Joel's concern, love and dedication toward Little Bub. The story was interesting but didn't fully draw me in. Little Bub, Justin Morgan's horse, knows how to make a statement. From the first whinny in chapter one as a "too small" colt to the "deep snorty rumble" he obliges to President Monroe at the peak of the horse's fame, he frames the history of the first of the Morgan breed in style. Justin Morgan Had a Horse depicts the real story of how the Morgan breed came to be. Marguerite Henry consults with many historians, surviving relatives of some of her book's characters, and many history books to make her horse stories as authentic as possible. That and great story telling makes all of her books fascinating reads. The narrative follows Joel Goss, initially a ten- year-old boy joining his teacher, Justin Morgan, on a peregrination to Massachusetts. Morgan has debts to repay, and he was hoping a friend that owed him had the money. Instead Morgan and Joel leave with one colt Joel and Little Bub begin their story. Morgan can't find anyone willing to buy such a small creature and had Joel gentle and train him. Joel aims to buy Little Bub one day, but in the meanwhile a novel passes. Little Bub grows in fame. He's able to do everything one can expect from a horse, and then some. Size doesn't matter. However, money does and Joel has to keep saving. I love Henry's books for many reasons: the horses, the history, the friendliness of the people, and the bond between the main human character and the main equine character. Joel wants a life filled with love and horses, and he's willing to find a way to make that happen even though his father forces him to sign on as an apprentice to the town's inn and sawmill owner. Little Bub gets rented and owned all over, competes all over, but Joel finds a way to accompany him. I imagine those movies where bad things happen to the animals--and even though this rarely happens in Henry's books--I feel like Joel is a projection of myself, and assuring the safety of the horse everywhere he goes. I'm amazed how long-lived Little Bub was. The book runs from around to maybe the book is vague at some points, but shows official dates at others. Little Bub was put to work almost immediately--trained over his first winter in Vermont, and logging by summer. So he couldn't have been as tiny as the earliest chapters make him sound, which was perhaps a yearling. I'm going to suppose he was born in to be barely old enough for the heavy hauling he did. He's perfectly healthy around I'd imagine 24 years is exceptional for a horse in that time period.

Although it turned out that these colts were such great friends that Justin Morgan was forced to take both. But throughout the story, while Bub seems to be a very poor horse at first, it turns out that he is much more than everyone first expected and ends up doing much more than just paying for himself. Throughout Justin Morgan Had a Horse, the colt Bub seems to be a very unlikely candidate for a good workhorse, but he ends up becoming a famous name all throughout the eastern united states, beating even some of the best pulling and racing horses from all around the world. And so a theme that is very present throughout this book is that, Sometimes the people or animals we least expect to be good at something do it better than anyone else. This theme is also shown as Joel, the boy who practically raised Bub, ends up building himself up as a world class horse expert even from his lowly beginnings.

My son won this novel in our library's Summer Reading Challenge last summer but it's been sitting on the bookshelf since then. When it was his turn recently to choose our next read- aloud chapter book he found it again and asked if we could read this one. I honestly had no idea what it was about so I looked into it before we started it and found out that it's based on a true story about one of the first truly American breeds of horse. And it turns out, that's a pretty interesting story! There are My son won this novel in our library's Summer Reading Challenge last summer but it's been sitting on the bookshelf since then. There are horse races, mystery, war, presidents okay just one president all involved in the story of this one horse. It was really entertaining and certainly educational! I think if I read this on my own even as a kid, I'd probably be a bit bored, but my sons seemed intrigued by it and kept enjoying it as I read it to them out loud. It was a good story regardless. Joel is a kid and his schoolmaster is named Justin Morgan. There is a little horse that Joel takes a real liking to that Justin Morgan gets ownership of and Joel wants to train it or as they say, "gentle it". The rest of the story is about Joel's relationship with the horse. Crazy Credits. Alternate Versions. Rate This. Director: Hollingsworth Morse. Writers: Calvin Clements Jr. Stars: Don Murray , R.

I met my first Morgan before I read this book, so she's not responsible for Morgans being one of my absolute most favorite horse breeds. But this clinched it for me. And real Morgans, like Bub, not the nervous fancy hybrids so popular today. This is an ageless timeless classic. If you have a horse crazy kid- or any kid- or if you or anyone you It may be that all Marguerite Henry books don't deserve 5 stars. If you have a horse crazy kid- or any kid- or if you or anyone you know likes a great story with a real life protagonist who does ordinary heroic things- go read this book.

My son won this novel in our library's Summer Reading Challenge last summer but it's been sitting on the bookshelf since then. When it was his turn recently to choose our next read- aloud chapter book he found it again and asked if we could read this one. I honestly had no idea what it was about so I looked into it before we started it and found out that it's based on a true story about one of the first truly American breeds of horse. And it turns out, that's a pretty interesting story! There are My son won this novel in our library's Summer Reading Challenge last summer but it's been sitting on the bookshelf since then. There are horse races, mystery, war, presidents okay just one president all involved in the story of this one horse. It was really entertaining and certainly educational!

I loved all of Marguerite Henry's books, but this one was a special favorite. So when I stumbled upon a copy, I had to take a look. I tried to keep my expectations reasonable--it is, after all, a children's book. But wow, have writing styles ever changed. There's tons of dialogue, and it's all written out in a clunky attempt to convey the sounds and cadence of a "folksy" dialect. I found myself cringing every time someone opened their mouth. Apr 02, Andrea rated it it was amazing. Should life therefore have no meaning? This book tracks the life of a little horse from the perspective of a child who grows up over the course of the book. I like how this book shows the importance of paying ones debts. Aug 19, Melissa rated it really liked it Shelves: newbery-honor , reading-challenge , reading- challenge.
