Haas is simply terrific at horse stories for readers too young to love the Thoroughbreds series, and Apple's horses-the gentle, skinny pink roan, the cranky palomino, and best of all Scamper-are so real you expect them to trot off the page. The delightful duo that brought readers Appaloosa Zebra (2002) and Runaway Radish (2001) returns with the story of Scamper, a white pony, and two sisters who take him to a local horse show. Throughout the day, as they go in halter class, lead line, pleasure, equitation, and trail classes, they pin their hopes for winning on the costume class, when Scamper himself becomes an American flag.

Jessie Haas has written over 35 books for children and adults, many about horses-a lifelong passion.
