Title: Great until the very last page
Product review: I purchased this book for my horse-loving six year old. There aren't that many picture books about horses, so I thought this was a good find. Thank GOODNESS I read the book through before giving it to her. It starts off so nicely and delightfully tells the story of an old stray horse that the kids befriend. They have a lovely summer with the horse. Then you are hit like a brick wall with the last page: the horse is abruptly taken away from the children to the "high pasture" never to be seen or heard from again (presumably to die). I was horrified. My child is sensitive, especially about animals. She would have been terribly upset by the way the book ended. So, I just cut out the last page and gave her the book without it. What a real shame to ruin an otherwise delightful book.
