Overview / 简介:
Illus. in full color. Rocking on the porch after dinner, a little girl and

her father enjoy the twilight until Daddy dozes off. "Out of the night appears

the Moonhorse, glowing white with feathery wings, to take her on a ride through

the sky. Osborne's poetic text comes to mysterious life in Saelig's dark,

dreamy illustrations full of clouds and stars. Imaginative fare for bedtime--or

any time for that matter."--Booklist.

From Organization / 国外机构评价:
PreSchool-Grade 2-- A moonlit ride on a winged horse is the focus of this uneven fantasy. The young narrator, sitting on the porch with her sleeping father on a warm summer night, wishes on a star, and the Moonhorse arrives to carry her on a journey through the stars. Osborne's prose is generally smooth and lyrical but suffers from occasional awkwardness that mars the rhythm. The pace of the text is also weakened by its varied placement on the pages, leading readers to pause mid-sentence when there are visible gaps between phrases. Saelig's illustrations, on the other hand, are consistently ethereal and evocative, and do much to strengthen the book's appeal. Somber colors and softened edges convey mood and atmosphere while also depicting the night-time world in a semi-realistic fashion. Particularly strong images appear when the narrator names the various constellations she and the Moonhorse fly past. Unfortunately, the plot is slight, and easily overshadowed by the dramatic paintings. Still, Saelig's art is bound to engage both children and adults, making it possible for this work to gain an appreciative audience despite its flaws. --Lisa Dennis, Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh

Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价:
It seems that I often go through my child's books and think, great story but illustrations are mediocre at best - or brilliant artwork for an odd story. Moonhorse is absolutely the most beautifully compatible blend of imaginative work of author and artist. To read this book is to recall a mysterious, yet delightful dream of my 1950's early childhood. I want to know how Pope Osborne and Saelig came together to do this and will they do 1,000 more?

She then joined up with a group of European young people and traveled in rickety vans through sixteen Asian countries, including Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India and Nepal. * She was a bartender, an acting teacher, a waitress, a travel agent, a window dresser, and a medical assistant -- all before becoming an author!
