Goliath: Hero of the Great Baltimore Fire

40 pp. | Sleeping Bear | May, 2010 | Trade ISBN 978-1-58536-455-8 $17.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Troy Howell. This animal-hero story focuses on Percheron horse Goliath, who suffered severe burns while fulfilling his fire-horse lead-position duties during the Baltimore fire of 1904. The text, with strained invented dialogue, is informative but choppy. Detailed paintings in subdued browns, reds, and grays are stiff but evocative of the time period. Glos.
