Ellen Feld's brand-new book Rocket is the perfect prequel to the "Blackjack" books, by the same author, that my twelve-year-old granddaughter, Abby, is reading and enjoying right now. It's the story of a little foal, half Morgan, half Shetland pony, and a great starting place for the young reader who is getting smitten with horses and ponies. - Denny Emerson, Former USET Team Gold Medalist, and current columnist for The Morgan Horse Magazine

Rocket: The Miniature Morgan Horse not only is whimsical and fun, it is also full of suspense and excitement.

The award-winning author Feld has done it again with this latest title – she has created a fun story line that will both educate and entertain the young reader. A perfect introduction to the world of horses with a new foal, a lost foal, and a frightened foal. The adventure of course has a happy ending. The book includes some beautiful drawings by Heidi Osgood Metcalf that set the scene and complement the storyline. - Catskill Horse

Rocket, Ellen F. Feld’s early reader, is a sweet story about a girl and her ponies. The plot follows Rocket as he grows up and bonds with his owner Sara. His antics provide many joyous moments for Sara, and will for the reader as well. Told in simple language, young horse lovers will enjoy reading this story on their own. The clever and detailed black-and-white drawings are endearing and add a charming element to the tale. Dialogue and the descriptive narrative are well developed. The author has woven a credible and engaging story based on her own two ponies, also called Diva and Rocket. She includes photographs of the actual ponies at the end of the book. The story and illustrations are reminiscent of Clarence William Anderson’s classic Billy and Blaze series. - Readers’ Favorite
