About this listen

Brighty, a shaggy young burro, lives wild and free in the Grand Canyon of Arizona. He roams the steep cliffs with the squirrels and rabbits. But his favorite friend is Old Timer, the prospector who shares hot biscuits and calls him Bright Angel. One day Old Timer doesn't answer Brighty's loud "Eeeee-aw!" Instead, the friendly animal encounters a ruthless claim jumper. Will Brighty be able to bring the killer to justice and make the wilderness safe again?

Marguerite Henry, author of the Newbery Award-winning classic Misty of Chincoteague, based this delightful story on the adventures of a real-life Grand Canyon burro. Brighty touched the hearts of all who knew him -even President Teddy Roosevelt. John McDonough's animated performance brings out the burro's joyous free spirit and courageous determination.

This was a favorite of my childhood. It was made magical when combined with a trip to the Grand Canyon. The tradition continues, and it is now a favorite of my children.

This story was read to my class in 3rd grade and it left a heartwarming impression of tranquility and happiness that has stuck with me these last 43 years, although the details of the story had long faded away. I decided I wanted to revisit some of the stories I recalled from my childhood that made me feel good at the time and this is the first story I have revisited. It does have moments of tension that may make the reader feel fear or anger, but also love, trust, compassion, and respect. A great story for young and old alike.

A heartwarming story with excellent voice acting

I love this story. My mom read it to the family when I was just a young girl as we sat around the fireplace on the cold winter nights. A movie was also made and it is good although the books are usually always better as in this case. This is definitely a book I will read to my children!

I am 52 "reading" this for the first time. I loved it. It says it's a children's book but I would say think of it like a PG movie....not for too young of a child. It has some violence.

Great for adults too!

This book totally captivated our 9 and 13 year old boys. We listened in the car on they way to and from the Grand Canyon which made it even more meaningful. The reader did a super job with the character voices.

Loved it!
