Book Description

Feb 1993

A full grown horse is too big to visit a school, but the school children can visit the horse and hear its story.

The story of Rachel, who lives on a canal barge, and Snowy, the white barge horse. When Rachel’s teacher asks the class to bring their pets to school Rachel is disappointed because her parents say Snowy is a working animal and must stay by the canal. But the solution is simple – take the class to see Snowy!

Review

Berlie Doherty is an award-winning author whose stories have been broadcast on radio and serialised for children’s television. Keith Bowen is an accomplished artist. Snowy is the result of combining their considerable skills into one publication… This appealing story is illustrated with breathtaking pictures, filled with vibrant colour and capturing the atmosphere of each scene perfectly.

From the Back Cover

Rachel lives in a narrowboat. There are so many wonderful things she loves about living on a boat but most of all Rachel loves Snowy, the beautiful boat horse.

When her teacher asks the class to bring their pets, Rachel can't take Snowy to school because she is a working horse. Rachel is terribly disappointed – until a very special school outing is organised…

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully written, beautifully illustrated 7 Nov 2000
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
This is a lovely book which never fails to bring a tear to my eye. Rachel isn't allowed to take the canal boat horse into school when the teacher invites the children to take in their pets, and her classmates tease her. That is, until they meet Snowy the horse on a surprise school trip to the canal. You can't fail to sympathise with the girl and then be proud with her when she finally gets the admiration of her classmates. It's very easy to read out loud and the illustrations are impressionistic enough to allow you to add your own detail. I bought this book because my daughter has the same name as the girl in the book, and I just love reading it as many times as I am asked!
