Bell's Star

(2) 1-3 Horse Diaries series. Illustrated by Ruth Sanderson. In Elska, a silver dapple Icelandic horse living in Iceland in 1000 CE, tells about her life. The Morgan colt in Bell's Star carries a runaway slave to Canada and learns about freedom. This straight-from-the-horses'-mouths series, though overly emotional and anthropomorphic for adults, is perfect for its primary-grade horse-loving audience. Occasional black-and-white illustrations and fact-filled appendices add much to both stories. Review covers these Horse Diaries titles: Elska and Bell's Star.
