The timeless message of inner beauty is highlighted in this classic picture book from best-selling author-illustrator Jan Brett, in which Fritz the pony becomes a hero when he rescues the children of a walled city. Fritz was not beautiful. He didn't have a braided mane or a glossy coat. 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. The citizens laughed at the short-legged pony's attempts to be like their own horses. But Fritz was dependable and hard-working. He proved to the citizens that there are things more important than being beautiful. He earned a special place for himself in the walled city just as he'll earn a special place in every reader's heart. 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.

Beauty v plainness, pride v humility, courage v cowardice- a simple story that deepens with each reading. Children will love the beauty of the architecture, garments, and horses, but the moral of the parable will stay with them a long time.
