Except for his color, there appears to be no difference between the Littlest Red Horse and his brothers; he is but one of twenty-four horses on the merry-go-round of Esteban Gomez. But sooner or later the Littlest Red Horse claims the attention of every visitor to the carnival lot, for he seems to be composed of "one-quarter magic, one-quarter dreams-come-true, one-quarter happiness, and one-quarter mystery." One day this special horse wanders into the life of a sick little boy named Eddie, brightening his life by taking him places the child never dreamed he could go. This tale of compassion and friendship is classic Tazewell, whose lyrical prose propelled The Littlest Angel to million-seller status.
