Steve is a fine horse, but what he really wants is to be exceptional. So when he finds a beautiful golden horn while walking through the forest, he eagerly ties it to the top of his head. Now, finally, Steve is exceptional. But can you really be exceptional when everyone starts copying your signature style?
With its hilarious text and illustrations, this one would make a fun read-aloud, and many outside-the-box children will understand Steve's desire to be fabulously different. It is reminiscent of the myth of Narcissus, but with a much funnier and more optimistic outcome. It would work especially well with a SWBST (Somebody Wanted But So Then) lesson since Steve's goals and conflicts are so clear.
