Illustrated by
Margot Apple.
Radish is a "round, red, bouncy young pony" with a mind of his own. In elementary yet lively prose, Haas presents a pony's-eye view on the human-equine relationship, extended through Apple's breezy pencil sketches of the pony's sometimes-naughty antics. Horse lovers--especially second and third graders, for which neglected audience this book is perfect--will enjoy reading about Radish's well-voiced likes and dislikes.
