Clarence and the Purple Horse Bounce into Town

32 pp. | Rising | March, 2003 | Trade ISBN 0-87358-826-6 $$15.95
(4) K-3 Returning from his trip out west, Clarence the pig takes his new friends Smokey the purple ranch horse and Edgar the dog to his home in the city. After a few days, Smokey becomes sick, and only clean mountain air and plain grass hay will cure him. Though the story is a bit convoluted, Adams's likable characters and the appealing cartoon illustrations are full of charm.
