Assateague
is a long barrier island off the coasts of Maryland
and Virginia. On one side is the Atlantic Ocean; on
the other a calm bay. The Island is home to many animals,
both large and small. Assateague’s most famous
residents are the herds of wild ponies that live there.
This 32-page book includes plenty of color photos and
is intended for our younger readers.
ABOUT

of the island’s ponies. She and her husband now
live in University park, Illinois.
LARRY

the Mississippi and the edge of the Ozarks, where his
interest in the outdoors developed. He has served as
