Customer Reviews

Chock full of information
Marguerite Henry's "Misty of Chincoteague" and "Stormy; Misty's Foal" were among my favorite books growing up. I was delighted with "Out of the Sea; Today's Chincoteague Pony" because it's both inspiring and informative. Color photographs, a glossary, and a list of resources complete this non-fiction account that highlights specific ponies, their owners,trainers, and other experts such as breeders. The author answered many of my questions about these ponies and the culture that has developed in response to the unique niche they occupy. Being a former volunteer firefighter, I was delighted to learn about the crucial role the volunteer fire compnay plays in their well-being!

I'd recommend this book for Chincoteague afficionados of all ages. If you plan to visit Chincoteague or Assateague Island, this book should be in your pack.

Informative and fun book
A well researched book for anyone who wants to know about these ponies indepth. Tells the story well and is very factual and accurate. Gives you a great idea of how these ponies came to be and how they are used now. Some great pictures, too!

Wonderful coffee table type book
Great book with wonderful photos for the chincoteague pony lover!
I hope mabey the author will do another "followup" type book to this one!
