Nitter Pitter is a beautiful mustang who refuses to play with the other horses or spend his day doing anything other than admiring his own beauty. One day he is accidentally pushed into the pond, and when he sees himself after rolling in the sand to dry off, he sees he is just another horse. As he hides under a tree in shame, a raven encourages him to try playing with the other horses. He ends up having the best day of his life learning how to play, and realizes that being a good friend is better than being lonely and vain.
This was an interesting story since the characters weren't actually magical and just basically based around one type of animal (I hadn't read this one when I was little). Basically the story is short, sweet and easy to read.
I would have to say this is one of the most beautifully illustrated books done by Robin James. I just love the pictures in here for the details, which complements the details of the story on how our thought in our looks affects how others see us and what fun we may or may not have.
Also skimming over the dedication in this book I see there are some important details given for the story. Will be checking the dedication of the other Serendipity books.
