"Portraying human and animal characters empathetically, the narrative
features moments of humor as well as insight. . . . Highly satisfying."
-- Booklist
Maggie loves introducing her new horse, Bramble, to the neighborhood,
the beach, and the backyard. Bramble has fun too, once she is cajoled
into participating by a well-timed carrot or two. But when Maggie has to
go to school, Bramble is bored and lonely and gets into some trouble.
This charming and funny early reader flows at just the right pace for
kids who are learning that others don't always do exactly what you want,
but that friends find a way to give and take.
