Harry keeps a horse in his room. A trusty horse only he can see. But then his parents take him to the country to see “real” horses. Horses that are free to run, kick, and nibble. Now Harry must decide: Does his horse need to be free, too?
“A satisfying fanciful story. Illustrated with the author’s inimitable, humorous drawings.” (Booklist)
