"This was one of my favorite picture books as a little kid! I found it while cleaning my closet the other day and decided to read it for old times sake. The illustrations are beautiful, and though it's a very abbreviated version of the story it's very well done! If you have any horse obsessed little ones then this book is a must have!"
