geat book

This is a great childres's horse book. My granddaughter had it from the library and loved it so much, I had to buy her her own copy!

Chestnut

What a beautiful story! The illustrations are lovely and the story is fun for young children who love horses, and even for children who don't. Chestnut is a work horse with a big heart.

Fabulous book about a Haflinger Horse

If you have or know someone who has a haflinger horse, then this book is for you. Drop dead gorgeous watercolor paintings illustrate this book. The storyline is completely believable if you have ever owned a Haflinger Horse. They are a special breed, and this book really does them justice. You won't fall asleep reading it to your little ones!

Horse Lovers Come Forth

A long time ago, in a city by the sea, a delivery-man named Mr. Decker, owned a horse named Chestnut who helped to pull the delivery wagon all over town. People would eagerly await the early morning arrival of Mr. Decker and Chestnut, for they relied on them very much to help supply their businesses with goods. One morning Mr. Decker falls asleep after chaining Chestnut to the delivery wagon, and loading it with goods. Now Chestnut must take matters into his own hooves, and deliver the goods before it is too late. I am a huge horse lover, so CHESTNUT was a book that I just knew that I had to have. Constance W. McGeorge's lovely prose bring the story to life, describing the delightful scenery found around Chestnut, while the gorgeous illustrations by Mary Whyte keep you mesmerized from the very first page, to the very last. Overall this is a gorgeous new children's book. Especially for horse lovers. Erika Sorocco Book Review Columnist for The Community Bugle Newspaper
