Misty of Chincoteague

By: Marguerite Henry

Narrated by: Edward Herrmann

A Newbery Honor Book

Rediscover award-winning author Marguerite Henry’s classic story about a wild horse’s gentle colt with this faux leather–bound anniversary edition.

On an island of Chincoteague off the coasts of Virginia and Maryland lives a centuries-old band of wild ponies. Among them is the most mysterious of all, Phantom, a rarely seen mare that eludes all efforts to capture her—until a young boy and girl lay eyes on her and decide they can’t live without her.

The frenzied roundup that follows on the next “Pony Penning Day” does indeed bring Phantom into their lives…in a way they never would have suspected. Phantom will forever be a creature of the wild. But her gentle, loyal colt Misty is another story altogether.©2006 Marguerite Henry; (P)2008 Simon and Schuster

Just a great little book

Nice to listen to a simple story with only a few characters and no violence.

I am so glad I love it

I am so glad you have a wonderful book to read about your life that is very special to me because you have a very good memory of the day and you know that I love it and that is what makes it special for me to be in your life and that you will always have the same memories of your childhood in my heart and that you were always with my family

Great story

This is a great book for any child to read. The book captivates readers as they learn about Phantom and her foal Misty. I highly recommend this book.

Great way to get your young reader hooked on books

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I recommend this book as well as other classic early reader books to all parents. With all my children I start them off with the first book in a series on audio, then if they want to know what happens next they have to read them. This is a great book for little horse loving girls.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Misty of Chincoteague?

Can't you just see the horses running down the beach?

Cute story

This is a happy story that put a smile on my face. It’s a fun read.
