9781599620176 English 1599620170 ''���In a pasture in Kansas one early spring morn A horse quite unlike other horses was born. His coat was coal black so they named the horse ''���Blackie,''��� And before very long folks found out he was wacky!''��� Meet Blackie, the stubbornly motionless equine hero of Christopher Cerf and Paige Peterson's delightful and touching biography-in-verse, BLACKIE, THE HORSE WHO STOOD STILL. See, most colts are frisky but Blackie was not. Blackie liked standing still! Yes, he liked it a lot! ''���What's the hurry?''��� thought Blackie. ''���There's so much to see Standing here in the shade of a juniper tree''���''��� This (mostly) true tale tells the heart-warming story of a horse who made standing stock-still a lifelong endeavor - while becoming a champion rodeo horse, a tourist favorite at Yosemite Park, a legendary environmental crusader, and the beloved mascot of one of America's most beautiful towns, Tiburon, California, on the shores of San Francisco Bay. The word quickly spread ''��~bout the new horse in town And from all 'round the county young kids headed down To the pasture where Blackie could always be found Standing still, like a rock, on the same patch of ground. Magically illustrated with Peterson's lyrical paintings, Blackie is destined to become a children's classic in the tradition of Munro Leaf's FERDINAND THE BULL and Dr. Seuss's THE LORAX. The playful, clever-rhyming text will charm adults and children alike as it quietly delivers an important message about appreciating and preserving the natural beauty around us. ''���What a beautiful place!''��� Blackie thought when they got there, ''���I simply can't wait just to stand in one spot there And watch a gull soar, or a tree gently sway, Or the fog rolling in from the hills 'cross the bay''���", 'In a pasture in Kansas one early spring morn A horse quite unlike other horses was born.
