CHARLOTTE AND THE WHITE HORSE

Another book, sweet and small, with ever the light touch that is Ruth Krauss's and Maurice Sendak's. Charlotte is a girl, little and loving her white stable colt in each of the tiny pastel pictures. She is a poetic little girl too and the thoughts she thinks have the queer quirks of childish free association that bring us back to earth from flights of fancy. Its ageless appeal is well defined.
