Step Right Up: How Doc and Jim Key Taught the World About Kindness Review: Wonderful message for kids AND adults! - I was amazed that I’d never heard this story before, but I’m delighted that it has been written now. The story of Doc and Jim Key IS at its heart one of kindness, and I love that Donna Janell Bowman kept the focus on this special relationship between man and horse. Doc used kindness as a teaching tool, and proved to the world that even a horse could learn. Doc also overcame obstacles of prejudice, ridicule, and segregation through his dedication and determination. This message is so timely, and I have loved sharing this book with my students. They love this unlikely story of gentle Doc and Beautiful Jim Key. The author’s notes at the back are detailed, meticulous, and so helpful for teachers and readers that would like more background information about this amazing story. This book was nominated for the Texas Bluebonnet Award, and truly deserves this honor. Review: Beautiful and touching story. - A picture book with heart, Step Right Up shows readers a beautiful piece of history accented by stunning illustrations. Children who love animals will love this book, and it is equally appropriate for both boys and girls. The accomplishments of Doc Key, unheard of in his day, are understated, as his kindness and love for Jim takes center stage. Lots of interesting and historical back matter lends itself to further exploration. Great book for the classroom, library or any personal collection. Adults who are animal lovers will enjoy it, too. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #386,118 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #558 in Children's Horse Books (Books) #647 in Children's Historical Biographies (Books) #718 in Children's Multicultural Biographies | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (153) | | Dimensions | 9 x 0.25 x 10.75 inches | | Edition | Standard Edition | | Grade level | 2 - 6 | | ISBN-10 | 1620141485 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1620141489 | | Item Weight | 1.14 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 48 pages | | Publication date | November 1, 2016 | | Publisher | Lee & Low Books | | Reading age | 7 - 11 years | ## Images ![Step Right Up: How Doc and Jim Key Taught the World About Kindness - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/918457TJ4vL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful message for kids AND adults! *by S***S on December 29, 2018* I was amazed that I’d never heard this story before, but I’m delighted that it has been written now.
