(3) K-3 Translated by J. Alison James. Illustrated by Ulrike Heyne. In Iceland, a young girl's pony makes an awe-inspiring recovery when, after being turned loose in the hills with the herd for the summer, he is chased over a cliff by a stallion and survives. The tale is absorbing, and the expansive paintings showcase the seasonal changes in both light and color--from all-encompassing grayish white to earthy golds, browns, and grays--that affect the craggy, majestic landscape.
Reviewer: Christine M. Heppermann
