A Horse, of Course by Shari Lyle-Soffe is a funny picture book about Aaron, who gets a horse for his birthday. However, like a little brother or sister, Horace the horse gets all the attention, treats, and other things that used to be Aaron's and makes a general nuisance of himself. Can Aaron find a solution that's best for everyone, including Horace?
The illustrations by Eugene Ruble capture the humorous feeling of the book perfectly.
Although this is a picture book, many older children will find it amusing. Some girls who are "horse crazy" might prefer a more realistic book about horses, but any kids who appreciate humor should like this one.

I think Shari is sending me a copy of this one. It sounds adorable. We deal with a lot of sibling rivalry around here, so this book might help.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this one.

Aaron's solution won't work for your kids, but it's a good way to bring up the topic for family discussion.
I also enjoyed reading A Horse, Of Course. The artwork was a riot.
Thanks for stopping by Spanglish Baby, Janet. I appreciate it! :-)

I appreciate the review and thank everyone for their comments. I wasn't really thining about sibling rivalry when I wrote it. It was thinking about what is best for others.
