Sure kept me turning pages! Good for the younger crowd of horse lovers. I liked the detail it went into about working with horses. I really related to wanting time alone with your horse buddy. I'm glad things turned out well. Though I stayed up too late to find out.
Rated "Indifferent" in our old book database, "Good" by Adelia.

A bear falls out of Santa's sack on Christmas Eve and has to make his own way to the stocking of the girl who is expecting him. A thin story is stretched out with some slapstick that will probably amuse kids; it tickled my daughter back in the day.
I love the meaning behind this! Children will be able to relate or simply learn from the story in this book because it shows how no matter how different you are and how much you want to look like others, you are find the way you are. Momma kangaroo shows baby lamb how different is good! I love this book.
I think this book is a great book for children. It is a fun story of a little girl and her great adventure. It helps a child to understand the concept of adventure and mystery! great book!
