PICTURE BOOKS
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Mary Whyte. A delivery man falls asleep on the day he is supposed to deliver the supplies for a birthday party, but his faithful horse, Chestnut, makes the deliveries on his own. Too sentimental to be compelling, the tale of Chestnut's adventure is, nonetheless, an interesting account of resourcefulness and initiative. Watercolor illustrations of a bygone town bring the setting to life.
