Kindergarten-Grade 2—One morning, Cowgirl Kate wakes to the tickle of horse whiskers on her face. Her talking horse announces that he is tired of the barn. Kate explains that horses do not belong in the house and follows him around in her big red cowboy boots trying to persuade him to return to his stall. Whimsical watercolor illustrations follow the pair as the horse stumbles upon interesting things such as the toilet, bathtub, fake fruit, and his favorite item, the refrigerator. Finally, Kate coaxes the animal back to the barn just as her parents get home. The dialogue-heavy text is well paced and perfect for readers who are between picture books and chapter books. This warm and pleasant story will appeal especially to girls who dream of having their own horse.—

Review
"Lewin's signature watercolors will continue to delight young readers, especially when showing Cocoa's disdain for his former abode and his delight at the riches of the refrigerator . . . Just right for the new reader who loves horses."--Kirkus Reviews
