If You Love a Horse Tale: Black Beauty and The Knight's Mare

24 pp. | Barron's | March, 2011 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7641-6387-6 $18.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Susanna Lockheart. Two horse stories, respectfully abridged, are here presented in picture book format. The somewhat gimmicky volume includes amiable illustrations; every other page has an oval die-cut gatefold that, when opened, creates a second illustrated scene. Although Black Beauty is a tired choice for abridgment, The Knight's Mare is a little-known traditional tale whose inclusion freshens the volume.
Reviewer: Anita L. Burkam
