(3) K-3 While her father leads four Lipizzaner stallions to safety during WWII, Nina rescues a cart-horse named Zelda, who ends up saving their lives along the arduous trek. The Lipizzaners play second fiddle to Zelda in the text; an appended author's note reminds readers that the story is fictional. Lester's mixed-media illustrations, including black-and-white figures on colored backgrounds with some photo elements, are striking.
