5.0 out of 5 stars My daughter loved it
I have been trying to find stories my 8 year old will enjoy reading. This was a winner and she wants the next book. She usually doesn't like to read , this gave her confidence since the words were simple and the "chapters" were short enough to not intimidate her. Just what she needs to work up to her potential.

Little Horse is a sweet book about a little horse who gets swept away from his home and encounters some scary challenges. It is a short, easy read. My 8 year old (second grade) daughter's book club read it and all the girls could read it quickly and enjoyed it. I also read it to my 6 year old son in one sitting and he liked it too. The language is descriptive, but simple and the book provides action, without being too scary for little ones. A surprise twist in the story challenges our perceptions about the little horse and the world he encounters. I would recommend it for children in kindergarten through third grade.
5.0 out of 5 stars My Six-Year-Old Adored This Book
I know this book is out of print, but definitely get it if you see it at a reseller or a reissue. It's perfect for the young child who has a third-grade reading level but isn't ready for older themes.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great book
This is a great book for beginner chapter readers. IT is also good for children with Visual problems for the words are large enough and the Book has enough space between sentences which is a bonus.

Excellent children's book!
5.0 out of 5 stars Stories for Children Magazine 5 Star Review
REVIEWED BY: Wayne WalkerWhen I first read Little Horse on His Own, which has been reviewed in a previous edition of Stories for Children, I did not know that it was a sequel until I did some research for writing the review. While in the library not long ago, I found the original. Like its sequel, Little Horse is an early chapter book and tells the story of how Little Horse, who lives in a valley with other little horses, accidentally falls into a stream that carries him away from his home. He first lands on an island where a giant hawk swoops down on him. Heading back into the water, he reaches land again and finds himself in a forest, but instead of the little trees with which he is familiar in his home valley, it is a forest of colorful flowers. Frightened by a dog, he tries to flee but is picked up by a hand which tucks him inside the dark, warm pocket of a pair of overalls and takes him to a farm where there are other horses, but they are giants compared to him. His new home is a toy stall in a little boy's room. However, he is already dreaming about his journey back to his home. This is obviously a quasi-fantasy book, but small children, who have to live in a society where so much is made for larger adults, should be able to identify with Little Horse's predicament of finding himeself in a world where everything is huge.
5.0 out of 5 stars Best transition book
My son in 2nd grade has been terrified to read chapter books even though his reading level is fine. This has not only gotten the anxiety taken care of he reads a chapter every night on his own without being asked. He has already checked out the 2nd book. I also have the other dinosaur one for his younger brother who is in kindergarten but reads at a 3rd grade level.
Adorable book with adorable pictures.
Not much more to say. The story is simple and sweet. The illustrations are adorable. The story is a chapter book which can easily be finished in 2-3 nights. My daughter loved it.
