Mustang!: From the Walt Disney Productions' film based on the story by Calvin Clements

by Kathleen N. Daly

A young boy's love for a mustang prevents the execution of the wild horse.

Nature had been kind to Pechudo the Mustang who must stay free! As free as the skies are blue, Pechudo was a beautiful, proud colt in a herd of mares led by one magnificent stallion. As he grew up, he learned the law of the stallions: that to live was to win - against cougars, wolves...and man. But Julito could win, too. He was a young boy who found out that when a horse like Pechudo is hurt, it is care that wins the heart. This is a story of a monarch of the wild and the only boy who could handle him.

Loved this book as a kid. Good one for kids aged 6-12. I'll probably give it to my nephew and niece and hope they love it as much as I did. 🥰
