5.0 out of 5 stars
I'd like to introduce you to a childhood friend.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Gigi, the Story of a Merry-Go-Round Horse (Hardcover)
I first read GiGi, the Story of a Merry-go-round Horse when I was in the fifth grade. 37 years later I am still reading it and loving it.Set in pre WWI Vienna, Gigi, whose voice can only be heard by children until they outgrow his stirrups, canters in and out of the lives of many children, bringing joy to them.He loves the children deeply, particularly one little girl named Lili but it breaks his heart when he is often sold away from them. He has many adventures, traveling from Vienna to France and America but the story is mostly about love. Ms. Foster tells the tale simply, without condescending to her youthful audience. In fact, she treats the views and perceptions of the children with great respect. This story captures the magic of children and carousels and the simplicity of childlike joy, sorrow and faith. When I was ten, I would check it out of the library, read it with joy during the day and sleep with it under my pillow. My grandkids love Gigi too.
