(4) K-3 Illustrated by Ted Lewin. With his dad overseas during World War II, a young boy works to overcome his fears, especially of the horses that pull the neighborhood delivery wagons. Large watercolor illustrations enhance the slight story and highlight the boy's efforts to make his father proud. An appended author's note describes life during the war years and includes archival photos.
