A review by lydonreads
War Horse (Scholastic Gold) by Michael Morpurgo

3.0

I've been reading this and leading a mixed group of afterschool kids in reading/engaging with this book. Though I may not have read this otherwise, I ended up liking this book, and I'm surprised how much the kids (from 3rd graders up to 6th graders) are enjoying it. Not sure if I've ever read a book written from an animal's perspective since I read Cujo back in the 5th grade, but luckily, this tale from the point of view of Joey the Horse ends up being positive, even while it hints at some of the horrors of war.
