2018 Nominee Annie Karcher Best in Rhyme Top 10! Jack is a rather silly horse. And when bored, he takes it upon himself to unlatch his stall and go for an adventure through the farm before escaping into the neighbor's garden for a snack. This rhyming story counts up to ten as Jack makes his way across the farm and then back down as he races home with the neighbor hot on his heels.

Review

Little readers enchanted by horses will get a kick out of this title, as Jack fumbles around exploring his environment and interacting with adorable kittens, piglets, and ducklings. The greens, blues, and yellows give the book a welcome springtime feel. --Kirkus Reviews

With lively illustrations by Petra Brown, this romping tale of a "bored, bored, BORED" horse named Jack turns to a wee bit of trouble as he seeks his own entertainment. Young children will enjoy counting up to 10 and back down again with this fun, rhyming adventure. Brown also represents a diversity of children with her fetching art style. --The Gazette: Eastern Iowa News & Headlines

About the Author

Linda Vander Heyden has always loved quiet country and woodlands. As a child, she spent summers at her family’s cabin, fascinated by frogs and dragonflies (but not the pinching ants). Her love of nature and animals has inspired many of her stories and poems. Linda lives in the country with her husband, two dogs, three cats, and a horse named Jack!

Petra Brown has been a children's book illustrator since 2006 when her first picture book If Big Can...I Can, was shortlisted for the Booktrust Early Years Awards for Best Emerging Illustrator. Since then she has been illustrating for a range of publishers in the United Kingdom and abroad. Petra comments, "I love drawing animals with human expressions. I find it such fun creating, for example, a thoughtful fox, a happy hippo, a shy sheep, or a caring bear! The other thing I like is creating landscapes, places where my characters can run about and have adventures. Living in a magnificent place like Snowdonia helps a great deal." Petra lives with her partner in Wales.

This adorable picture book uses catchy rhyme, cute animals, and counting to show readers what happens when Jack the horse becomes bored and lets himself out of the barn. It's a fun read aloud with beautiful illustrations that enhance the delightful text. An ideal birthday or holiday gift for moms and toddlers.

I’m a grandmother who loves and rides horses. This book is adorable! I’ve read it several times to my grandchildren. I like the counting goes to ten, then backwards. Rare to find that.
