Jan Brett's full-color artwork sparkles in intricate detail across every page of this exceptional picture book about Fritz, a sure-footed pony who finally gets the chance to shine in his own best way.Ībout the Author Jan Brett is the beloved New York Times bestselling author/illustrator of numerous books for children. He earned a special place for himself in the walled city just as he'll earn a special place in every reader's heart. He proved to the citizens that there are things more important than being beautiful. But Fritz was dependable and hard-working.
The citizens laughed at the short-legged pony's attempts to be like their own horses. He couldn't prance with long, graceful strides like the elegant horses who carried lords and lovely ladies to the city-a city that allowed only the most beautiful horses within its walls. He didn't have a braided mane or a glossy coat.
