Bookroo's summary

Chester, a wild horse yearning for a tamer life, ventures into the bustling city. Disguising himself as a carousel horse, a rocking horse, and even a statue, Chester's quest for a home is filled with humor and heart. Will he find where he truly belongs, or is the city not ready for a horse like him? Join Chester on his whimsical journey to discover if a wild heart can find peace in an urban jungle.
