Henry, Marguerite White Stallion of Lipizza, 176 pgs.
Aladdin, 2014. Language – G, Sexual Content – G; Violence – G;
Hans is only a
baker’s son, but he is in love with the white stallions that dance. He is so
intrigued by the magnificent creatures that Hans times his leaving for work so
that he can see the stallions walk through the streets each morning. Soon
seeing them in the street is not enough, and Hans gives everything for the
horses he admires—but is it enough to make his dreams come true?
The story of
Hans’ dedication and determination to work hard for his dreams is a beautiful
one. This is a lesson that even I (above this reading level) needed to be
reminded of. Besides that, though, the book was hard to focus on because of all
the horse information that didn’t interest me as much as it captivated Hans.
