My favorite book as a child. Purchased for my 8 year old granddaughter. Hope she reads it and enjoys it.

Brighty Review

I ordered this book for my wife as we had just returned from the Grand Canyon and she had expressed interest in Brighty...she even bought a small stuffed Brighty. Anyway, the format of the book is really cute as it reminded me of books I read in grammer school. As I understand, the story is based on some level of fact. I have seen references to Brighty in the Grand Canyon Association news and in the Death in Grand Canyon book. It is a fun read and provides a little history of the Grand Canyon. Anyone with an interest in animals, the outdoors or the Grand Canyou will enjoy this book.

great classic - not the size expected

I loved the Henry books as a grade schooler and wished that my mother hadn't given away all my books while I was in college. I'm now trying to rebuild that part of my library and assumed that the hardcover version ordered would be the size of the original 'classic' printing. Instead, this is a mini-book in comparison. Just be aware of that when ordering. For those looking for other animal book series that a nature-loving child might enjoy, consider Jim Kjelgaard's books (Big Red, Irish Red etc), and Gerald Durrell (My Family and other Animals etc).

Another memory.

Another great book for children. It has been around a long time and was a favorite of our children. I purchased it for our grandchildren.

Brighty -- Still a great read!

At age 54 I decided to add this book to my classic children's collection. I was delighted to find when I read it again after 43 years, it still was a charming, fun book from beginning to end!

reviews: page 1, 2, 3, 4

Long ago, a lone little burro roamed the high cliffs of the Grand Canyon and touched the hearts of all who knew him: a grizzled old miner, a big-game hunter, even President Teddy Roosevelt. Named Brighty by the prospector who befriended him, he remained a free spirit at heart. But when a ruthless claim-jumper murdered the prospector, loyal Brighty risked everything to bring the killer to justice.

Brighty's adventures have delighted generations of readers, and he has become the symbol of a joyous way of life. Some people say that you can even see his spirit roving the canyon on moonlit nights-forever wild, forever free.
