If You Love a Horse Tale: Black Beauty and The Knight's Mare

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Susanna Lockheart. Two horse stories, respectfully abridged, are here presented in picture book format. The somewhat gimmicky volume includes amiable illustrations; every other page has an oval die-cut gatefold that, when opened, creates a second illustrated scene. Although Black Beauty is a tired choice for abridgment, The Knight's Mare is a little-known traditional tale whose inclusion freshens the volume.
