Alison Friend.
In three transitional-reader chapters, Maggie and her horse Bramble prepare for a winter storm, weather the snowy night (Bramble gets outdoors via an unlatched gate), and help their neighbors dig out in the morning. Simple declarative sentences convey Bramble's charmingly naive horse observations and Maggie's true horse facts, while frisky gouache illustrations offer close-up views of the affectionate girl-horse relationship.
