From Kelly Collier's hilarious Steve the Horse early graphic-novel series, here's a tale about sportsmanship that will have readers roaring with laughter. Nearly always wrong about everything in life, the full-of-himself Steve is one of those standout flawed characters with enormous appeal. The story takes some edge-of-your-seat turns as Steve learns the hard(ish) way that there's more than one kind of winner in life.

It's time for the annual Race-a-thon, and Steve the horse is excited He knows he'll win. He wins every year And no wonder, Steve's body is built for running. He's got a big chest for deep breaths, powerful hindquarters to propel him forward and the longest legs in the forest. But when he goes to sign up, Steve finds out the rules have changed, and his confidence starts to waver. Because this year, the Race-a-thon is going to be a relay race, which means all runners must compete in teams. And Steve's on a team with the slowest runners in the forest: Turtle, Duck and Snail Is it possible that Steve could lose the Race-a-thon for the first time ever? This delightful picture book story from Kelly Collier about the lovable --- if sometimes self-absorbed --- horse named Steve is laugh-out-loud funny. Every page features humorous and cleverly designed interplay between the illustrations and commentary, as well a few definitions (such as powerful hindquarters: ?That means strong bum muscles?) that provide vocabulary enrichment. The humor and the edge-of-the-seat description of the race make this a fantastic read-aloud pick. It also works as a great discussion starter on the topic of sportsmanship and on the character education skill of teamwork.

”Tässä on Heikki. Heikki on hieno hevonen”, alkaa Kelly Collierin nokkela kuvakirja. Mutta Heikki ei halua olla vain hieno. Hän haluaa olla hienompi, aivan ERITYINEN. Kun Heikki löytää metsästä kultaisen sarven, hän tajuaa löytäneensä tien kohti erityisyyttä. Heikki sitoo sarven otsalleen ja laukkaa näyttämään sitä ystävilleen. Kaikki kaverit eivät aivan vakuutu, mutta suurin osa on kyllä sitä mieltä, että Heikki sarvineen on tosiaan erityinen. Itse asiassa monet hänen ystävistään ovat niin inspiroituneita, että myös he päättävät sitoa esineitä päänsä päälle. Kun Heikki huomaa, että hänen sarvensa on yhtäkkiä kadonnut, hän menee pois tolaltaan ja etsii kiihkeästi kaikkialta löytääkseen sen. Hän ei ole erityinen ilman sarveaan!
