I read this children's book because it is going to be the basis for a broadway show. It is book about World War I, but told from the perspective of a horse. In many ways, the book reminds me of Black Beauty. I found the ending few paragraphs odd, unnecessary, and unfortunately not a good note on which to end the book. I felt that it distracted from what the story was. It'll be interesting to see how they can manage to recreate a horse and the wartime scenes on a broadway stage.
