Mandy Sue Day Book

Mandy Sue Day is a cute children's picture book that is written in the form of poetry. Although it's written in poetry, many children would comprehend what is written in the plot of the story (How a young girl spends time with her horse on her day off). The young girl and her family are realistic in the way of how they are a working class family. The young girl adores her horse, Ben and loves to take care of him. Many children would be able to relate to Mandy, especially if they love animals such as horses. The illustrations are so vivid and detailed to portray the setting and the characters to enhance and coincide with the story. This book shows the lifestyle of a young girl who adores her best friend and horse and how she can spend the day listening, feeling, smelling and spending the day with her horse rather than just 'seeing' her horse. At the end of the story, after having a dialogue with her brother, the author reveals that Mandy Sue is blind. This is a great book that represents that the lifestyle of being blind is not all that complicated and they enjoy everything that 'sighted' people enjoy and much move. This book is highly recommended to anyone who loves poetry and horses.
