(3) K-3 During the Great Depression, people needed something to lift their spirits. Seabiscuit, the washed-up racehorse turned champion, became the inspiration for millions. McCarthy's chunky acrylic illustrations, featuring big-eyed, blocky humans and equines, capture the excitement as Seabiscuit blows past War Admiral to win a big race. An author's note gives additional background. Bib.
