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

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 ... more » 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.

atoosi is a rather odd-looking horse. He feels embarrassed around other horses because none of them look like him. He prefers hiding in a horse trailer so no one can see him. Then one day his life changes. His "boy" takes him to the county fair. Watoosi discovers that instead of being "odd", he is "unique", which makes him very special. This book contains a wonderful message for young readers about self esteem. A photo of the real Watoosi is included at the end of the story.

Cowgirl Peg welcomes well-known western writer Corinne Brown to the series. Corinne met Watoosi at a stable, took photos of him, then proceeded to write this wonderful story. Published by Peggy Sundberg, it is a perfect addition to the "Cowgirl Peg" books. friends.
