Belle's Journey

Belle's Journey is a wonderful book. This is the story of a mare, Belle, and her determination to fight the prairie winter in the 1920's. I really enjoy the many values gained from reading this book to my students. This story allows readers to discuss winter, prairie life, pioneer times, bravery, age discrimination and point of view. It is a well written, realistic fiction story from which both children and adults gain insight about life in the 1920s and how we face the same obstacles today. I have read aloud many pioneer books, and this is definetely a favorite!
