Accidents happen. But Nobody, the new horse at the ranch, seems to have more than his share—although, he always has a good reason for why the “uh-oh” occurs. Follow the exploits of Nobody and his friends, an Australian Blue Heeler named Yotey, and a delightful (but slightly overweight) donkey named Simon. Then, of course, there’s Nobody’s best friend, Cowboy Randy. A Horse Named Nobody is the first in the series of the SIDE-BY-SIDE Readers (TM) designed especially to help Dyslexic and reluctant readers by enhancing phonics skills. Even parents and tutors with little or no training in phonics can help their child read. A link to the narrated version of the story is provided inside this book.
