For ages 4-8. Fan mail isn't unusual - even when the celebrity in question has four hooves. The great Kelso had a fan club, John Henry still has a loyal following, and surely Secretariat received a letter or two in his time. But when Smarty Jones took the world by storm in 2004, his mailbox overflowed. The underdog horse that nearly won the Triple Crown received more than a million letters in three months. That's five thousand letters every day, many addressed simply to "Smarty Jones, Philadelphia Park". Dozens of these letters from horse lovers, grade-schoolers, animals, and racing fans were selected for "Dear Smarty". They're filled with the encouragement we'd all like to hear: "You tried your hardest and you'll always be a champion to me!" This book is a touching, must-have collectible from the Smarty Jones' racing era.
