Marvin the Tap-Dancing Horse

32 pp. | Simon | March, 2001 | Trade ISBN 0-689-82153-0 $$16.00
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Michael Paraskevas. A horse named Marvin, who dances in the carnival, dreams of starring on Broadway. He's whisked off to the Big Apple by a talent agent where, after much struggling, he gets his big break and becomes an overnight sensation. But his success is bittersweet because Marvin misses his friends. Though the story is somewhat underdeveloped and unfocused, the acrylic illustrations are rich, moody, and offer lots of variety.
