Horse of a Dirrerent Color: Reminiscences of a Kansas Drover Nov 18, 2009
I am really enjoying this book. We got it in only a week. The author is remarkable. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoy's cowboy stories and how they tamed the west.

Timeless values in overcoming difficulties. A wounderful family book! Apr 26, 2006
Ralph Moody's books are a national treasure demonstrating life at the end of an era while teaching timeless values in an enjoyable and appealing fashion. Almost all of Ralph Moody's books have that "read aloud" feel so rare in literature disigned for families. Told in the first person he tells his story simply with feeling and often some well placed humor.

In this volume Ralph is drawn into the Cattle/livestock business and unwittingly forms a partnership that leaves him unbelievably in debt. Ever resourceful Ralph rebuilds a new business and works to overcome his turn of bad luck.

This is a wounderful story whose enjoyment will be enhanced by reading the other books in the series first as this in the last book.

Ralph Moody Apr 27, 2001
When I was a child I read Little Britches, Man of The Family, and Horse of a Different Color. These books/stories are timeless. Any parent who wants to give a good example to a child about resposibility should obtain these.

Vivid history in a home-spun style that leaves you smiling. Jan 10, 2000
Ralph Moody again weaves an artful picture of true life in the real world of the early twentieth century. His easy going style and colorful portrayal of each character give a real livng account of day to day life with a constant optimism that many of us miss in our cynical world. A great read aloud family book aong with the rest in the series. Moody gives character qualities that are rarely found in the novels of today and are much needed especially for todays young men.

Put this one on your 10 - 14 year old's reading list but don't forget to read it along with them.
