Fritz and the Beautiful Horses (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780399174582)

The timeless message of inner beauty is highlighted in this classic picture book from best-selling author-illustrator Jan Brett, in which Fritz the pony becomes a hero when he rescues the children of a walled city.

Fritz was not beautiful. He didn't have a braided mane or a glossy coat. 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. The citizens laughed at the short-legged pony's attempts to be like their own horses.

But Fritz was dependable and hard-working. He proved to the citizens that there are things more important than being beautiful. He earned a special place for himself in the walled city just as he'll earn a special place in every reader's heart.

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.
