PREVIEW
Molly is a lively, lovable schemer and dreamer growing up in 1944. Her stories describe her life on the home front during World War Two. Molly doesn't like many of the changes the war has brought, and she especially misses her father, who is away caring for wounded soldiers. But Molly learns the importance of getting along and pulling together -- just as her country has to do to win the war!

As the McIntires face a cheerless holiday, Molly decides to make some merriment of her own -- complete with unexpected surprises.

Doodlebug Ages 7-12

A young girl finds that the injured, disheveled pony she buys out of pity at an auction is really the black stallion of her dreams.Doodlebug
By Irene Brady
Illustrated by Irene Brady
Edition: illustrated
Published by Houghton Mifflin, 1977
ISBN 0395257824, 9780395257821
35 pages Ages 7-12
The ""skinny, dirty, shaggy, lame black ...
... pony"" that Jennifer outbids the butcher for--a far cry from the Beautiful Black Stallion with Flowing Mane and Tail of her dreams--turns out to be a Cinderella horse with a difference discernible in his impossible-to-sit, high-flying trot: he's a registered Hackney Pony, and naturally a champion, as the-owners-from-whom-he-was-stolen tell Jennifer when they happen by. Snooty Myra sulks off on her devalued chestnut mare, Jennifer is in tears--until nice Mr. and Mrs. Daniels, recognizing what she's done for Doodlebug (and that he ""can never win a show ring with that limp""), propose that she continue to care for him; they'll bring mares to visit so he can breed more little champions just like he did at home. As obvious as they come, but Irene Brady (America's Horses and Ponies) does know the turf well enough to hold the horse-wise.
