Description
This touching story features a boy and his horse who go from enjoying the leisurely countryside of Devon to finding themselves in the heat of battle during World War I. They are separated and scared, but their determination to find each other keeps them alive. Although this book includes some scenes of combat, the violence is very soft and age-appropriate for young children. The pictures do not show blood and gore, and the book uses phrases like, “Lay still, not moving and breathing,” and, “He fell and lay still,” in reference to death on the battlefield. The illustrations beautifully illustrate this tragic, yet inspiring story. 48 pgs, hc. ~ Brianna
