Steve the Horse series.
Horse Steve always wins the annual race-a-thon, but this year's race is a relay and Steve's been paired with the slowest runners: Duck, Turtle, and Snail. Can he coach his team to success? Can he keep his hubris in check? This comical story about a self-absorbed yet endearing equine is filled with cheeky asides and balanced by simple, monochromatic ink and watercolor art.

Horse Steve, longing to be exceptional, straps a gold horn to his head and shows it off. When the horn slips off his head, Steve launches a hysterical all-out search (it's literally under his nose) until he realizes he's fabulous as is. Collier's beige-and-black ink and watercolor illustrations (comprised of vignettes, panels, and full spreads) extend the cheeky text, which includes deadpan asides.
