Fritz was not beautiful.
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..
He earned a special place for himself in the walled city just as he\'ll earn a special place in every reader\'s heart.
He proved to the citizens that there are things more important than being beautiful.
But Fritz was dependable and hard-working.
The citizens laughed at the short-legged pony\'s attempts to be like their own horses.
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.
He didn\'t have a braided mane or a glossy coat.
Fritz was not beautiful
