Included in the "Horse Tales" exhibit at the Carle Museum

An original nursery rhyme with a dreamy white horse and suitably silly illustrations. Watch out! Watch out! Could be fun for a preschool storytime. ( )

I like this one but I can't figure out the lyrical rhythm yet. Would be great for a storytime with older toddlers and preschoolers. The repeating chorus is fun to yell out loud and each verse is full of wonderfully ridiculous imagery. The images are full page too so it makes for a great opportunity to ask your young reader about what they see happening on the page because there are very few words. ( )

beautiful art, soothing storyline ( )

Fun! Fun! Fun!

On the Day the Horse Got Out is a lively, nonsensical hardcover picture book with oodles of imagination. The horse getting out causes all kinds of things to happen—bells ring, eggs break, ants play, children dance, and much more. These silly and mystifying results of the horse getting out are amusing.

The illustrations and rhythmic, rhyming text make this book entertaining for little ones, (and for me as well!) It’s a great addition to a child’s, grandparent’s or caregiver’s library.

With timeless, highly detailed illustrations, this adventurous and imaginative children’s book is on my 2021 favorites list—primarily because of how fun it is to read to my toddler grandson.
