What Kind of Book is Arno and His Horse
Reviews
This was a touching story, with beautiful remembrances of a grandfather who has passed on. The cadence is mostly delightful, but there are some near rhymes that trip you up unfortunately.
The illustrations are beautiful but the story, while touching and with a compelling idea, is too disjointed. Varying cadence and too many unnecessary near rhymes also detract from a more rewarding reading experience.
