Publisher's Description of Come on Seabiscuit 4-CD Audio Set
Who would have believed that a knobby-kneed little colt named Seabiscuit would become one of the most celebrated racehorses of all time? Although Seabiscuit was the grandson of the legendary Man O' War, he was neither handsome nor graceful. His head was too big, his legs were too short, and his gallop was awkward.
During the depths of the Great Depression, however, Seabiscuit won against incredible odds and uplifted the hearts of people throughout the country. Originally published in 1962, this classic recounts the thrilling tale of the plucky horse who refused to quit, the down-on-his-luck jockey who refused to let accidents keep him out of the saddle, and the taciturn trainer who brought out the best in both horse and jockey. Moving and inspirational, Come on Seabiscuit! is a reminder of the qualities that make for a real American champion.
One of my greatest finds at a library book sale was an old worn-out copy of this book. It was one of my favorite books as a kid, and it still is. Seabiscuit, a thoroughbred, was a descendent of the famous horse, Man 'O War. While he didn't have the sleek look and great confirmation of his ancestor, he had the heart of a champion. People of all ages will love this heartwarming story of the colt as he goes from an abusive beginning to shattering records at race tracks across the country. ~ Megan
