5.0 out of 5 stars Billy and Blaze
Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2010
Verified Purchase
The Billy and Blaze books were a staple of my childhood. Easy to read with wonderful and accurate pencil drawings, the stories are simple and compelling for a youngster. Billy also represents a very under represented minority in the equine world right now, a boy riding a horse that is not a "cowboy". Billy rides for fun and pleasure and rides english to boot!
The pony Blaze is brave and uncomplicated, leaving Billy time to figure out his adventure in a short time.
I bought the books for my grandson to grow up on.I would love for him to be as enchanted with them as I was, and to perhaps have them as a role model as he grows up equine, not necessarily Cowboy.

Blaze And The Forest Fire: Billy And Blaze Spread The Alarm (Billy and Blaze Books)

My 4 year old boy and I really enjoy the adventures had by this boy and his horse. The old fashioned black and white or sepia drawings are well done and fit the "old west" theme. Some stories have a slight hint at danger, but everything works out. There is a forest fire, a mountain lion, a wild horse. Billy is a problem solver. So far we have read 6 books in this series they are all very good. We recommend them.

If you liked this book when you were a 6 year old boy, you'll love it now. I cried in the first paragraph, and now realize where I got my love of horses and much of my love of nature and outdoor adventure. The others in the Blaze series are comparable, and all illustrations -- one on every page -- are fabulous.

This entire series is a treasure. Aside from the detailed line drawings that bring the story to life, there is actually quite a good plot. The tales encourage young folk to be responsible for their pets - even if the pet is not a horse. Enjoyable reading for ages 4 - 6.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice For The Whole Family
Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2011

In my opinion, the entire Billy and Blaze collection is nice for the whole family to enjoy. Children ages nine and under might enjoy these stories the most. Perhaps, children age 10 and up may find the reading and stories too simple. However, I enjoyed reading the stories with my children (ages 2 - 7), and they thoroughly enjoyed the stories as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars A children's classic
Reviewed in Canada on November 12, 2010

I read the "Billy and Blaze" books--some of them, anyway--as an elementary-school student, checking them out of the school library over and over again. I don't remember if this is one of the ones I read then, but as I looked through this copy, which I bought for my two-year-old niece (who has already shown an interest in horses!), the joy I had then came back to me. The illustrations, done by the author himself, had all that old remembered charm. These are the pictures that inspired me, as a girl, to draw.

The story is simple, and simply told, yet it's exciting, and even as an adult, I held my breath, willing Blaze to make those jumps over the stream and the barb-wire-topped stone fence. I can only hope my niece loves these books the way I did.
