Brief Annotation: Patricia Polacco manages to tell stories with such detail that it feels as if you are with her in the past. Mrs. Mack is no exception. Polacco tells the story about her love of horses, how she learned to ride, and become excepting of people that weren’t necessarily just like her. She captures the youthful spirit of a child yearning to accomplish their dreams.
Grade Level: 4-7
Readers who will like this: Readers who like reading books about horses, readers who like reading books about overcoming challenges.
Response/Rating (1-4): 4; I love reading about the challenges that she overcame. I enjoy reading about how her family supported her through everything.
One question you would ask before a read aloud: What is something that you succeeded in doing? Were you a natural or did you have practice?
