Reviews
Publishers Weekly
“Brown illustrates in a rich, pastoral style . . . [and] though Brown’s adaptation moves quickly through the horse’s many travails, her injuries and mistreatments still strike their intended emotional chords.”—Publishers Weekly
School Library Journal
“A good introduction to a classic, perfect for classroom reading and storytimes with older children.”—School Library Journal
Booklist
“[T]his version features a story pared down to the essentials and illustrations that communicate the drama and pathos in ways that are accessible to younger children. . . . A satisfying picture book for young horse fans.”—Booklist
Kirkus Reviews
“[T]he illustrations provide such a sumptuous visual feast that it is most assuredly worth perusing.”—Kirkus Reviews
