Rosie's Magic Horse

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Quentin Blake. Rosie collects ice-pop sticks, and her newest is a dreamer: "I could be something." And it can, transforming into horse Stickerino who transports the girl to magical lands where she finds pirate treasure to pay her impoverished family's bills. Master storyteller Hoban's latest is a strange--charmingly so--fantasy, and Blake's reliably note-perfect pen-and-watercolor art is just as whimsical.
