The prince creates problems for those around him and Jemmy, the whipping boy, is the one who receives the punishment. After running away, the two are bound together in some fantastic adventures. Through it all, a friendship grows between the two boys. You can't wait to see how this book will end. The vocabulary in this book is rich in unusual words that my students loved to research.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2866597409955966658-4838788509453149144?l=pettuselemproffitt.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mrs. Proffitthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04915767099871210703noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2866597409955966658.post-77747587682509343472009-05-06T13:05:00.004-05:002009-05-06T14:34:43.440-05:00<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YZV4ShKjZqg/SgHVLB9OunI/AAAAAAAAAAM/nWOw7fbwEIE/s1600-h/black+stallion+%232.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332777819263908466" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 88px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 130px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YZV4ShKjZqg/SgHVLB9OunI/AAAAAAAAAAM/nWOw7fbwEIE/s320/black+stallion+%232.jpg" border="0" /></a> The Son of the Black Stallion is a fantastic book!

Henry, Ribsy’s owner, tries to look for his very special dog, but it seems as if he’ll never find him. Ribsy has all sorts of adventures including being bathed in violet scented bubble bath, becoming a class mascot, and chasing squirrels. He even plays in a football game! It’s a funny, heartwarming tale (or is it tail) that you would want to read over, and over, and over again!!!</span><br /><br /><p><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:130%;">Written by Ross and Seth, 4th Grade Students</span></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2866597409955966658-8211186965649001208?l=pettuselemproffitt.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mrs. Proffittnoreply@blogger.com10
