(4) 4-6 Animal Tales series. Illustrated by Guy Francis. Plow horse Fred believes he is really "Federico the Dancing Horse" and searches for a place where he can dance to "the song in my heart." He ultimately ends up in a circus alongside his beloved human friend, Lena. Fred/Federico's often ponderous narration isn’t very light on its feet, but this is nevertheless a gently entertaining story accompanied by genial illustrations.
