(3) K-3 Illustrated by Nicolas Debon. When young Savino's headlamp fails him on his first day of work in the coal mine, his father's pit pony, Nelson, leads him to safety. Later, Nelson and the other ponies are allowed to leave the mine and enjoy their first taste of freedom. Carter's story, based on an actual incident, earnestly depicts the challenges of being a miner; Debon's paintings effectively illustrate the cold, dark mines and Savino's fears.
