A racehorse injures a leg and becomes a helper in hippo therapy (hippo is Greek for horse). Horse lovers may enjoy this story from the horse's perspective, but the clipped text may leave them with unanswered questions about this kind of physical therapy for people with disabilities. The book is illustrated with stiff but competent art of horses and riders.
