I absolutely loved the story of Andy and Spirit Go to the Fair. It took me back to my childhood when I was able to visit the fair. I could smell all the delicious aroma of food drifting from the stands. The anxiety that Andy experiences, this reader could share along with him. I thought the way Spirit and Andy had an understanding toward the other was well-written and lends a great deal of warmth to the storyline. Spirit was slightly different as well as Andy, and they both were able to understand the other. Mary Jean Kelso creates a story that melts the heart and brings a smile to the face. I love her style of writing. She reaches into her heart and brings forth a budding story that will thrill the readers while leaving a wonderful feeling inside. The illustrations by K.C. Snider almost leap from the pages; they are so life-like. Every little detail and sketching is remarkably done, making this story one incredible read. --Linda Lattimer, Reviewer

Andy & Spirit in the Big Rescue is a marvelous read. Mary Jean Kelso depicts real life in pages that consume the reader, while educating him/her about horses. With every turn of the page, I found myself riding right along with Andy and his adventures. Ms. Kelso pens a read where she allows the reader to interact, while providing the thrill of the horses, the bull, and the whole ambiance to make the story more believable. K.C. Snider’s illustrations enhance the story even further by sketching scenes that, when mixed with the text, makes the story leap from the pages. Another exhilarating read!
