Dinky, a special boy, who endured, and became more than anyone expected.Instead of being defeated he survived and blossomed and to his herd Chrome and Connella. I hope Dinky's story will help advance the knowledge of nurse mares and their foals. It focus' on the treatment of animals as disposable property, without heart, soul, thought, or feelings. Dinky, has taught me to see life through different eyes and to realize that we can all be more than our beginnings suggest.

SOMEONE, I DON'T KNOW WHO LEFT A FULL JAR OF COCO-ANTS WAITING FOR A LONG STICKY ANTEATER TONGUE TO PRY OFF THE PARTIALLY OPENED LID. ALGERNON BY PATRICIA MORAN
Algernon is an anteater, but he is a very ingenious one...He not only loves ants but especially chocolate covered ones. So, to find a supply of his new favorite food, he not only learns to read and to stand up tall, and to consequently join the circus!
This children's book is delightful, with a refreshing commentary describing Algernon's thoughts and his precocious stream-of-consciousness asides...
Meet Algernon the Anteater...you'll love him!
Algernon
ambled slowly across his acreage looking for ants. Ants were his passion. Ants
were his thing. Ants were his ambition, you might say. ANTS: Plain and simple,
fancy or spicy, it made little difference to Algernon.
White ants,
red ants, or black ants, it made no never mind to him. An ant was an ant was an
ant!
That was the
situation at exactly twelve and one-half minutes past ten o’clock on the
morning of June 26, 1981.
But! At
exactly thirteen and one-half minutes past ten o’clock on that same morning,
the entire situation changed!
Because,
that was the exact minute, the precise time, the historic moment when Algernon discovered
Chocolate-Covered-Ants!
Someone, I
don’t know who had left a full jar of chocolate covered ants in Algernon’s
backyard. Someone – it could have been anyone – left that jar with a partially
opened lid, just waiting to be pried off by a long, sticky, anteater tongue.
Whoever that
someone was, they were most careless, and that someone will go down in anteater
history as either the most blessed or most cursed, depending on the point of
view.
You see, it
all depends on the way one looks at the situation because finding that jar of
chocolate covered ants changed Algernon’s life completely forevermore.
“Algernon is an entertaining read that
shows the importance of being happy with who you are and realizing that every
decision leads to some action, good or bad.” ~ Cyrus Webb, media

AWARD-WINNING BOOK DINKY: THE NURSE MARE'S FOAL BY MARTA MORAN BISHOP. WILL TEAR YOUR HEART OUT AND PUT IT BACK TOGETHER.
Winnie Award Winner at the Equus Film Festival. Dinky: The Nurse Mare’s Foal is the story of one little foals fight for survival after being taken from his mother within hours of his birth. Dinky, takes us on a poignant trip through the heart and mind of an animal, who was born for the sole purpose of producing milk in the mare. In the elite world of horses, Dinky was considered a by-product, a ‘junk foal.’ Dinky’s story will resonate with animal lovers, as well as anyone who has adopted. Although a horse, his story has been called an adoption story. The reader can follow him through the heartbreak, cruelty, loneliness, and finally to happiness in his forever home. His story is based on true events. Each event from the moment the author met Dinky actually happened, though it is the author’s interpretation of what he might have been thinking and feeling during the occasions described in his story. His early life which is unknown has been fictionalized by the author and constructed through research and imagination. There are many wonderful animal rescue leagues, many are very empathic to these young animals, though some are not. Since Ms. Bishop has no knowledge of Dinky’s early days she used the latter to enhance the strength of his story. It will break your heart, open your eyes, lift you up, and teach you much about h
I don’t want to remember when I first heard the term nurse mare’s foal or who called me Dinky first. I had another name once, but only for a short time. I don’t like to think about those times. When I do, I become frightened and angry. I would be so much happier today if I just could enjoy the moment as Chrome and Connella are doing. Unfortunately for me, I’m not in the mood to nap. Today I’m terrified of sleep for fear the dreams will come back. It’s much better standing here in the middle of the field, letting the cool, gentle breeze flow through my mane, and feeling the warm sun on my back.
Dinky: The Nurse Mare's Foal is a memoir told from the first person's POV (point of view). What makes this memoir unlike any other is that the first person (narrator) is Dinky, a foal whose life begins as a seemingly insurmountable struggle. He survives mistreatment and continued disappointments during his early life.
He longs for the time he spent with his mother who adored him. But he was so young when he was taken from her, that he was confused and lonely. Additionally, he hadn't learned all the lessons of life that would help him in the coming years. However, in their short time together mom infused her love into Dinky's heart and mind while reassuring him that he was smarter than most horses and would grow up to be strong. Dinky's strength would be tested throughout his young life particularly in the areas of learning the ways of a herd and to be able to trust people again.
Luckily for Dinky, a delightful couple named Ken and Marta recognized his beauty..inside and out, adopted him and taught him what it felt like to be nurtured and loved. As Dinky stated, "They even learned how to speak horse." Dinky is both a story of loss as well as a lesson on the power of love to heal.
It is rare that an author can write in the first person and make it feel totally authentic. Author Marta Moran Bishop masters this task brilliantly. A reader of any age who loves and respects animals of all kinds will be deeply touched by this book.
