The inspiring true story of Reckless, the brave little horse who became a Marine. This nonfiction picture book is an excellent choice to share during homeschooling, in particular for children ages 4 to 6. It's a fun way to learn to read and as a supplement for activity books for children.

When a group of US Marines fighting in the Korean War found a bedraggled mare, they wondered if she could be trained to as a packhorse. They had no idea that the skinny, underfed horse had one of the biggest and bravest hearts they'd ever known. And one of the biggest appetites

Soon Reckless showed herself more than willing to carry ammunition too heavy for the soldiers to haul. As cannons thundered and shells flew through the air, she marched into battle--again and again--becoming the only animal ever to officially hold military rank--becoming Sgt. Reckless--and receive two Purple Hearts.

This is the first picture book from award-winning novelist Patricia McCormick, sumptuously illustrated by acclaimed artist Iacopo Bruno.

Solid option at the price point.
Color: Brick Melange, Size: XX-Large
I love these quarter-zip pullovers. I bought this one as a gift, but I personally own two others myself, which should say a lot. They’re comfortable, lightweight, and extremely versatile. I wear mine for golf, casual office days, and layered when it’s cooler out—they pair well with just about anything. For the price point, they really can’t be beat. The look and feel are comparable to options that cost significantly more. Great value, great performance, and a sharp, clean style. I’ll likely keep buying more.

Maelreg is becoming my goto for clothing. They use really good quality material and a great look and price. Maelreg continues to impress me, I've now purchased 6-8 of their shirts/hoodies and 2 pair of joggers. I really like them all.
