Review Quotes:
A Junior Library Guild Nonfiction selection
An American Library Association Best Graphic Novel for Children
"Koch tucks proud, graceful horses aplenty, both wild and at work, into her mix of square and free-form sequential panels. Corrals both the romantic and revolting sides of the story: Elementary and middle school readers who saddle up are in for a heady ride."--School Library Journal
"Dynamic comics-panel illustrations use self-referential techniques to move the humorous narrative forward, while "Mane Idea" asides explore topics like horse diet and digestion." --Horn Book
