(3) K-3 Illustrated by Albertine. Something's wrong with champion show horse Jumping Jack--he's stumbling around the course like an amateur. His rider, Roger Trotter, takes him to a vet and a psychologist, but an accident reveals what Jack really needs: glasses! Full-bleed color-saturated illustrations of strikingly black Jack humorously inserted into human-style doctors' offices are full of sly absurdities in this nicely set up, cunningly understated tale.
Reviewer: Anita L. Burkam
