The Girl on the High-Diving Horse

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Ted Lewin. In Atlantic City in 1936, Ivy and her father, who is employed as a boardwalk photographer, take in the many sights, but Ivy's favorite is the horse who jumps off a high platform into a tank of water and the girl who rides him. At summer's end, Ivy gets a memorable ride on the diving horse. Lewin's picture-postcard-style watercolors add the right nostalgic feel to this gentle, historical story.
