If I Had a Horse by Gianna Marino
4.0

Age: Toddler-Preschool
Animals: Horse

Marino celebrates a child's dream of having a horse. The watercolor illustrations are similar to negative art and somewhat featureless but full of emotion and tenderness, making the child and horse pop on the page for a large group reading. With only 5-8 words per page, Marino captures the thrill of horseriding, ownership, and making a new friend.
