Thank you very much! This was a fun review to forward to my editor at Boyds Mills Press--gave us such a lift. We are very proud of Inkblot, and are thrilled when others are bit by the inkblot bug.

Thanks--Margaret Peot

Fritz the pony just wants someone to ride on him and take care of him.  But all of the people in the town only like beautiful horses, and the people think that Fritz is not beautiful.  Then one day, the people are riding across a bridge and it breaks!  Read the book to find out how Fritz helps the people.  Will they change their minds about him?  We loved the pictures of the beautiful horses. This book teaches you not to judge someone by what they look like. We recommend this book to pony lovers everywhere, and to farmers.                  ]]></description>

The bunny that makes the most beautiful egg will get to help him pass out the Easter eggs. Which bunny will win?  Read this book to find out. We recommend this book to anyone who likes bunnies or eggs, or who celebrates Easter. Every bunny in the book has created a different egg and they are all colorful, detailed, and beautiful.  Young children will love the colorful eggs.                ]]></description>

But he is gentle and kind. All he wants it to live inside a walled city that only allows in beautiful horses. One day there is an emergency and Fritz does something very brave that changes the minds of the people. My favorite part was when Fritz's dream comes true and some children ride on him. I was happy for Fritz! I recommend this book to anyone who likes horses. Jan Brett does beautiful detailed illustrations of horses that you would love! Enjoy reading about how it doesn't matter how you look, but how you act!                ]]></description>
