Illustrated by
Barry Moser.
Poet Kumin describes, in rhymed couplets, the humorous personality and highly entertaining exploits of horse Harry. The old plug calms skittish colts and--in a satisfying, horse-centric twist--tames the stable owner's ornery grandson. The horse's sly looks break the fourth wall in Moser's realistic watercolors, revealing the goofier side of horse ownership.
