I like the range of issues it covers, its focus on kindness, and of course Jim Key. This book is about Doc Key, an African American man, and his horse Jim. Doc was born into slavery but was given a great opportunity to learn how to read and write along with working with animals. He loved animals, helped take care of animals particularly horses. When Doc grew up he became a successful businessman. He ended up buying a sick, mistreated horse. Doc took great care for the horse and taught the horse tricks, and with these tricks, Doc and Jim would travel and perform for millions. This story is a non-fiction book that expresses patience, love, kindness, and compassion. This book is the story of Doc Key and his horse, Jim. Even though Doc was born into slavery, he was taught how to read and write and had a knack at working with animals. After the Civil War, doc became a successful businessman and bought an intelligent horse named Jim. Doc taught Jim many tricks, and the two performed these tricks for millions. This book is based on a true story and would be a good lesson on non-fiction versus fiction books as well as a lesson on patience and compassion. With those two virtues, we, and horses, can accomplish anything we set our mind to. This book is about a man who was a slave, but after he was released he started breeding horses. He has a horse and it is very sick, but Doc does not give up on him. He teaches him all kinds of things and the horse turns out to be amazing. This could be used in the classroom to teach about kindness, compassion, and that any one can learn anything...even a horse. This book tells the story of Doc and his success in life. Doc was well known and liked by many others due to his many businesses and occupations. He was especially well liked when he began teaching his horse unconventional tricks and skills. This book could be a great tool to use when introducing careers to students. Much like Doc had to learn and study his occupations, students can research and study a career that interests them. This book could also be used when introducing fiction and nonfiction since the book is based on a true story. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
