On the Day the Horse Got Out

Audrey H Weber

In this gorgeously rendered debut Audrey Helen Weber masterfully blends suspense and nonsense imaginative artwork and a flawless rhythm that evokes some of the most beloved read-aloud classics from Mother Goose to Eric Carle.

On the day the horse got out...
the bells all rang
the birds flew south
the rabbit dug a bit too deep
and the beetle cried out in its sleep...

But what happened to the horse? Did she find what she was looking for? Drawing on the influence of nursery rhymes fables folklore folk art and mythology-and combined with Audrey's own playful and surreal sensibility page-turning suspense and read-aloud magic-here is a transcendent journey that tells a new story with every read.
