Reissue (1981, Houghton)
(3) K-3 A shaggy pony named Fritz is jealous of the snobbish, elegant horses who live in the town. When a bridge goes out, however, Fritz has the courage and steady temperament to cross the river and carry the children to safety. Brett's appealing, Scandinavian-inflected illustrations are set off in abundant white space, which balances the realistically detailed horses and fantastically embroidered human clothes.
Reviewer: Anita L. Burkam
