About this ebook
Can Little Horse find his place in the big world?
After accidentally falling into a stream, Little Horse fights the swift current that carries him farther and farther from the valley where he was born.
When he finally manages to scramble ashore, a giant bird swoops down on him. Little Horse runs for cover in a forest of flowers only to have a giant paw pin him to the ground. But a hand gently lifts him up and tucks him inside a warm cave-just like the cave he used to share with his mother.
This tender, fast-moving tale, written by master storyteller Betsy Byars and enhanced by David McPhail's beguiling illustrations, is a true cliff-hanger.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This book follows the journey of Little Horse as he is separated from his mother. He is swept up by a river and then chased by a hawk until he finds refuge in a cave. Up until this point I did not realize that Little Horse was not a regular horse. He then gets chased by a strange and very large animal, a dog, and it then that I realize that he is a very tiny horse! A man ends up finding him and taking him home and taking care of him. It ends with Little Horse resting in his new home and thinking of how he is going to find his mother again.The vocabulary was easy and perfect for a new reader although I am not sure if children now would enjoy this story. It seems a little dated to me as do the illustrations. It does contain excitement, therefore may keep their attention but I do feel that the appeal to the story would be limited.
