Title: Subtle, but still the wrong message
Review: We received this as a gift.Pros: The illustrations are beautiful and richly detailed, as are all her books.Cons: As the story goes, only the 'beautiful' horses get to live inside the city walls. Once Fritz proves that he is useful, everyone thinks he's wonderful, he gets to live inside the walls, and the children take special care of him. So...what about the other not-beautiful horses outside the walls? Have they nothing to recommend them? Guess we'll never know, because no one gives them a chance. Or are we to just assume the villagers have learned their lesson and change their ways?This one mostly stays on the shelf. Try "The First Dog" instead.
