Seabiscuit, Wild Pony of the Outer Banks by Anne Russell $14.95, Hardcover published by Coastal Carolina Press

Written for ages three to eight, this lovely new book about an Outer Banks pony named Seabiscuit belongs in your family library. The story is simple: Seabiscuit’s mother, Angel Wing, says, “You are a free pony. You may run where you like and eat what you wish. Your life is your very own.” Yet her father, Nautilus adds, “You must learn to take care of yourself.”

The original artwork is beautiful, and even more charming, if possible, are the borders decorated with Outer Banks themes. This book is not to be missed!
