Shadow, the Curious Morgan Horse is a sweet story about a little horse who learns all about the world around her. She goes through a broken fence and gets lost. She finds a friend who helps her get back to her mother in the pasture. She had a lot of fun exploring but was so happy to be close to her mother again. The world can be a scary place, but when we explore within boundaries and with someone who has been there it is a little nicer.
At first I found the story a little daunting for a children’s book. Lots of words, not so many pictures. I’m so glad I got over that and read the story. It is very sweet. The pictures are well drawn and very beautiful. Some I would like to frame for my eldest daughter’s bedroom wall.
Disclaimer: I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
