About this ebook
Little Horse had never known the sky to be so black, the air so still. He heard the big horses whinny again. Little Horse's fear grew.
The adventures of Little Horse continue as he makes his
way back to the valley of little horses and his mother
The storm sets Little Horse free from the fence holding him captive, free to do what he has wanted to do since the day the river carried him around its bend and away from his home-find his way back to the valley of the little horses and his mother.
But where should he turn, and how will he ever return home alive with all of the obstacles facing him?
Travel with Little Horse as he struggles against unfriendly horses, a malicious bird, a pouncing cat, a smoky fire, and more to find his way home.

Reviews for Little Horse on His Own
4 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This book is the second in the Little Horse series. In the previous book Little Horse fell into a stream and was carried away to a farm. The second book continues his story from the farm as he tries to find his way home. He leaves the farm after a thunder storm and faces a fire, a hawk, a the stream again as he follows it to find his home. After struggling for some time he makes it through and finds his mother.The vocabulary in this book is great for new readers but, once again, I am not sure the plot appeals to children today. Although it was written in 2004 it feels dated and old. It can be exciting at times but it feels more suited to younger children who cannot read yet. The illustrations give us some context but are also dated.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A cute story about a little horse that has begun to make himself comftorable in his new home among humans. The artwork is very crips and clear and the landscape his very naturalistic.
