I just finnished a great book. The name of it was Panda:a guide horse for Ann. An interesting character is Panda,the guide horse, because Ann was blind and Panda was a guide horse. I learned that when you're blind it's very hard to do things. The type of book is non-fiction book. If you like to read. I recommend you to read this book.

I like the book Panda because I learned that blind people can have hoses for helpers,also horses can be trained for people like Ann. Also I like it because it is real. And I would recommend this to kids and adults who like horses.

I think you should read Panda a guide horse for Ann.The Author is Rosanna Hansen.It is really cool because you can learn about the things horses can do to help blind people and what they do to train them.If you like horses than you should read this book.

What is it like to write a book about a guide horse.I would love to write a book about a guide horse. I would recommend Panda: A Guide Horse for Ann to peoplewho like animals that help people with disabilites and blindness and also because Rosanna Hansen is a great writer.

This was a great book! I'm so amazed what miniature horses can do. Panda is adorable!The shoes are also awesome! I think if I were blind I would chose a guide horse over a guide dog anyday. It is a new and exciting way to guide blind people.

Panda is a cute mini horse. It is very unusual to have a mini horse as a guide. It's a very good book. I liked to see Cuddles little shoes.

I really enjoyed this nonfiction tale about an exciting friendship. What surprised me was that Anne,a blind person, worked at a school with Panda.

I love horses and I want to learn more about horses. You should read this book if you love horses.
My favorite part is that when people first see Panda they usually look surprised. They've never seen a little horse before.

Nice to meet you.
Just FYI, there is no such thing as a seeing eye horse. Only guide dogs trained at the seeing eye school in New Jersey can legally be called "Seeing Eye Dogs". Also, I have been blind since birth and it is not "very hard to do things". Just because it is hard for you to imagine how a blind person would do many things, does not mean it is hard for a blind person who knows what they are doing. To another reader, I really hope that if you ever become blind, god forbid, that you do not just pick a guide horse over a guide dog because of this book. You can't have guide horses if you live in the city. They are bigger, more expensive to care for, and can be more skittish than guide dogs. You cannot fit a 120 pound animal onto most transportation and guide horses, unfortunately are not capable of being fully and completely housebroken, like dogs. Just so you know almost no one uses guide horses. For a very small percentage of the blind population, guide horses can be a very good fit, but guide dogs or white canes work best for most people. Oh, and the shoes are not cute, they are a pain in the butt. If I had to constantly be putting shoes on my guide dog and taking them off every time we enter a building, it would be a waste of my valuable time.
