“Babydoll’s Honor will warm your heart. With a dog named Nishka, a horse named Sneeze, and a loving nuclear family living simply in a trailer (with hopes for a real house someday) on 32 acres in rural Washington, this story and the author’s direct and unassuming style will draw you inexorably under its spell. And when you’ve finished it, a tear of joy might escape your eye for Kevin Walker, his remarkable horse Babydoll, and the way he transformed the small town of Yacolt.”

After receiving the book, Dustin and a Mouse Named Cody in "The Mouse That Stirred on the Night before Christmas" I picked it up to preview it before I read it to my grandchildren, I couldn't put it down. It was easy to follow, cute illustrations and a delightful story. The next week, I read it to my grandchildren, Marty who's 7 years of age and Alyssa who is 6 years old, they were really in to it, and thoroughly enjoyed the story. We can't wait to get the next book by Uncle Kent.
