Three Little Horses [Hardcover]

Piet Worm (Author)

Book Description

Age Level: 3 and up

Once upon a time three little horses, Blackie, Brownie, and Whitey, grazed together in a meadow full of lovely thick grass. Wherever one went, the other two followed. One day they met an artist named Peter, who was so happy to have met them. "We shall have good times together, you'll see," he told the three little horses.

These dear and unforgettable characters, first introduced in 1958, are back in this sparkling new edition faithfully reproduced from the original story. Both boys and girls alike will enjoy sharing in their adventures.

About the Author

Piet Worm was born in 1909 in Akmaar, a small town near Amsterdam, Netherlands. He studied architecture at the Royal Academy of Arts and Sciences in Amsterdam, going on to design and build many beautiful homes. With no houses being built during World War II, his passion turned to writing and illustrating children's books.

The author wrote approximately 35 books for children, covering diverse subjects such as fiction, history, religion, and poetry, most of which he also illustrated. The adventures of the three little horses were his biggest success; these tales were originally told as bedtime stories to his two daughters. He died in 1996, in his hometown of Akmaar, at the age of 86.

A great story from my childhood. I loved this little book and I am so happy to be able to keep this story going thru my granddaughter. If your little one has a passion for ponies, you can't go wrong with this warm little story. The author was inspired by watching the 3 little horses next door. Enjoy....

I loved this book as a child, especially the illustrations -- who doesn't love a pony dressed up as a person? It leaves a lot of room for imagination, and I'm glad to be able to get an edition newer than my beat up 1980s hardcover!
