This is a short, poetic story of a girl in the pioneer days, who finds a wild, white stallion when she gets separated from the caravan. There are times when a grown person would think "Would a horse REALLY do that?" but a young reader (or listener) will simply enjoy the magic of this wagon-train tale. Beautiful illustrations accompany a well told family-history-type story.

Yeah, that's the review too... 'cause I really can't say any more on such a short book. I enjoyed it, I can see where even a very young child would want this as their bedtime book. It'll even make them feel all grown up.

Simple and Sweet

This is just the kind of perfect 'end of day' book to read to children before going home from school, or to read as a bed time story. Full of the poetic magic of love and loyalty, and a girl being saved by a wild but gentle horse, it is beautifull written with very well illustrated. It was an enjoyable read.

And I didn't put up a review... but since it's not tagged and we're the only two here... I'll let that slide.
