Little Horse

(2) 1-3 Illustrated by David McPhail. This is a gentle fantasy for beginning chapter-book readers. Separated from his mother, Little Horse falls into a stream and is carried away. This little horse is not just alone and scared but an equine Lilliputian, fighting for survival among giants. Byars deftly combines crisp action with a lyrically evoked setting. Language is simple, but not simplistic; uncommon terms are clearly defined in the text and the soft black-and-white art.
