Illustrated by
Alison Friend.
In four chapters, beginning readers will get to know Maggie and her horse Bramble (Bramble and Maggie) better, along with a broader meaning of the phrase give and take. For new readers gaining confidence, the simple sentences are peppered with more challenging vocabulary, and they build in complexity over the course of the book. The soft gouache illustrations delicately draw out the text's humor.
