| Call the Horse Lucky |
| |
Call the Horse Lucky presents the issue of horse neglect in simple, straightforward language and compelling illustrations that enable young readers to identify with the girl, Mel, and the horse, Lucky. When visiting her grandmother, Mel discovers a neglected horse. Moved by the sight of his sad, glazed eyes and protruding ribs, Mel initiates a rescue; the horse is transported to a rescue ranch, where Mel learns about horse care. She comes to realize that since she lives in town and her family can’t afford the expense of a horse, she can’t adopt Lucky. When Lucky recovers and moves to a horse therapy ranch, Mel is thrilled that she can volunteer there and continue to bond with the horse she helped save.

| What readers are saying about The Gryphon Press books... |
| |
|
|
| “The engaging stories published by The Gryphon Press are a wonderful way to teach children the values of empathy and respect for animals. There is sadly little time in the day for this important aspect of education, but these beautiful stories will ensure that we communicate these positive messages to our students through their use as interactive read alouds and as valuable additions to the classroom library.” |

| “Incorporating Are You Ready For Me and It’s Raining Cats and Cats into our library and shelter reading programs, as well as our supplemental curriculum, has been a big hit and a lot of fun. Both stories help bring to life our lessons about responsible pet parenting. Students are engaged as they read along, which in turn excites educators and parents. We look forward to new titles that will complement and inspire our humane education programs.” |
