Day 21 - Favorite Book from your childhood

21. Favorite book from your childhood.

Man O’ War by Walter Farley
This book is a book about the most famous race horse ever: Man o’ War. He won 20 of his 21 races and won over $200,000 (in the 1920s). He was so famous that when he died in 1947, he was given a state funeral in Kentucky and buried in a specially made coffin.

My daddy read this book to me and I remember I cried and cried when he died. I loved horses more than anything when I was a little girl and read horse books all through my childhood but this one was the best one.
