AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH

Harry, a horse trainer, bought a white horse at an auction for eighty dollars. He brought it home to his family, and his daughter, Harriet, decided to name it Snowman. Because no one wanted to ride Snowman, the family had to sell him. Surprisingly enough, Snowman kept jumping fences to come back to the family. Harry then decided to train Snowman to become a jumper and compete. After a few months, Snowman was entered into a jumping competition. The plot was well paced and fun to read. The pictures were great and really added to the text. My 3 year old daughter enjoyed the text and the illustrations as well. This would definitely appeal to all elementary grades.
