review 1: This was a cute little story from the renown Holly Hobbie. She has taken this tale from her own childhood when all she dreamed about was to have a horse. Most children go through this phase and I think this book would appeal to those children. The pictures are of course typical Holly Hobbie style, wonderfully realistic, and beautifully drawn. Does she get the horse she so wants? The ending is true to her story. You'll have to read the book to find out!
review 2: This is one of the magic ones! One of those picture books that you just have to hold in your hands and devour. From the cover to the last page, the fresh water colors are thoroughly elegant. I actually asked my kids several times in the first week that we had it from the library if they would let ... moreme read it to them. I just wanted to enjoy it as much as possible while we had it at home.The writing is great, the story is true to childhood's hopeful but flexible nature, and I just adored this book completely. Any adult who has ever wished and hoped and longed for something in their childhood, and then settled for an alternative will enjoy sharing this book with a child who will someday, inevitably learn that very same lesson.Loved it. less
