Product Description

From the Author
Illustrating A Rocking Horse Christmas was a labor of love!
A Rocking Horse Christmas was a joy to illustrate! Mary Pope Osborne, the author, was kind enough to let me put a couple of my own fantasies in the story. Actually, having the race horses galloping through the boy's bedroom was my wife Mary's idea. I painted that scene with one regret - the horses made a terrible mess in my studio.

On the other hand Santa Claus was kind enough to let me visit his workshop at the North Pole and even allowed me to sketch him on a roof top during one of his deliveries. For that I am ever grateful ! --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Treasure Is Found!, 6 Nov 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Rocking Horse Christmas (Hardcover)
I am a Christmas Freak, I will completely admit. However, I LOVED this story. As I read it, I could almost see exactly where I was being taken as a reader. I knew I was about to be pulled in, but I loved every moment of it! The story, quite simply, is one which could be said of any child's favorite Christmas toy. Eventually, that toy is replaced by something -- be it another toy or simply the heartbreak of every child's growing up. Reminiscent of Silverstein's _The Giving Tree,_ the rocking horse keeps vigil, waiting for the little boy who used to have great adventures with him everyday. A happy ending rewards readers who know in their hearts that it is coming (but keep a tissue handy!). A beautifully illustrated book, _Rocking Horse Christmas_ is a holiday treasure to add to any collection!
