Little Budd, a lively Standardbred colt, is born to a fiery black driving mare. He and his mother live on a farm beside the Conestoga Creek in Lancaster Co., Pa. As the days go by, his mother teaches him what he should and should not do by telling him stories of other horses from long ago. Budd's wish is to see the countryside and travel the roads of the Conestoga Valley. Will he get his wish? (77pp. illus. Masthof Press, 2012.)
