Just a horse and a wagon...
A boy with a wild imagination creates a story of the incredible things he sees on his way home from school. As he grows closer and closer to his home where is father awaits to hear about his walk home, his story grows more and more outlandish. When he finally runs up the steps to his home and meets his father's eyes, he can't bring himself to tell his father anything but the truth.
I have been a mother for 14 years. My sister bought me this book when I was pregnant with my first child. As a mother of three I have read this story a thousand times and it is all three of my children's favorite book. I know it by heart. I have bought this book several times as my children read played with and colored on it through the years. I thankfully have one copy still as it sits on my bookshelf with the collection of all our favorite Dr Seuss books. To this day if i pull this book out and start reading it to my 6 year old daughter, my 14 and 12 year old daughters slowly creep from their rooms and by the end of the last pages they are all sitting around me. I have read this book to many of my neices and nephews and great nieces and nephews. It saddens and angers me that I have three girls and one copy of this book...a book I know all three of my girls will want to read to their children when they become mother's. This book is a staple in our home and many homes across the world. This book was a gift to us. It brought us closer together as a family and I have watched it bring joy to many children. Shame on this company for taking that away from so many people.
