Runaway Radish
by
Jessie Haas (Goodreads Author)
Radish is a feisty pony--and the best teacher Judy has ever had. He teaches her how to ride, and how to go fast and far, and even how to fall off. But most of all, he teaches her to be patient. And when Judy outgrows him, he teaches Nina all the same things, and most of all, how to be brave.

Runaway Radish
4 out of 5 stars
Haas broke the book up into five chapters. Because of the pencil illustrations and white space, this is a true first-chapter book. The illustrations do not have any color, which discourages the reader from straying from reading the text. The size of the font is large, again supporting the young reader. The vocabulary in the book was difficult, in my opinion, for beginning readers. Words such as tantrum, whinnied, and girth could be found in ...more

Haas' charming tale of a spunky but undervalued pony, Radish, draws readers in and keeps them hooked until the end. Medium-sized font, pencil illustrations and slightly-longer-than average length encourage the newly fluent reader. The appeal in this tale lies with Radish, and draws on most people's natural affection for animals. The lesson it teaches is also a bonus for children.

Jessie Haas is a wonderful author for a horsecrazy family. This is another one of Meagan's favorite read aloud chapter books. The main character, Radish the pony,teaches three very different girls how-to ride until each one sadly outgrows him. The ending solution is lovely, Radish becomes a school pony at the local riding academy where he continues to teach children about life and riding, until the daughter of his very first girl is ready to learn to ride.
Pretty cute little book. Not sure of the age range, but if your reader likes to read stories of horses this is a book for you. Fun little story that talks about what a new rider can learn from an old pony. Also, a good read about finding a place to fit in.
