The Best Horse Ever

(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Ronald Himler. For nine-year-old Abby, summer is all about taking care of her very first, very own horse. She isn't entirely prepared for the amount of work and responsibility involved, nor for the puzzling and disappointing reaction her best friend has when she meets the animal. Though the dialogue doesn't always ring true, the story line is convincing. Sketchlike illustrations enliven the tale.
