(4) K-3 Illustrated by Frané Lessac. Much context is needed to make sense of this story set in Australia, Turkey, and Egypt. Spare, elegant text tells of a 1917 battle of the Australian Light Horse Regiments, focusing on the relationship between a lieutenant and his horse, Midnight. Detailed folk art–style paintings add some clarity to the plot, as does an author's note containing historical background and photographs. Bib.
