About the Author
Richard Ammon enjoys reading, fly-fishing, playing a euphonium in a brass ensemble, ice hockey, and driving his Old Order Amish friends to horse sales. He is also the author of An Amish Christmas, An Amish Wedding, and An Amish Year, all illustrated by Pamela Patrick. He has two grown daughters and lives in Middletown, Pennsylvania, with his wife, Jeannie, a middle-school librarian.
From School Library Journal
Gr 1-4-Joining Ammon and Patrick's previous books about weddings, Christmas, and a year's activities is this story about horses and their role in daily Amish life. As an unnamed boy tells of his days, readers learn about the animals' feeding and shoeing, and the auctions where people come to purchase new ones. There's a moment of gentle humor when the new horse is named Netroy (Pennsylvania Dutch for "not Roy," the name of one of their other horses). A subtext of this calm story is, of course, the plain ways of the Amish, what families do with their days, how they entertain themselves, their speech, and the way the seasons decree the activities. Patrick's rich pastel drawings boldly bordered with red line are warm and quietly compelling and face an eye-pleasing purple and green quilt-patterned border that nicely balances the text. A quarter of the story shows the horse-driven process of planting and making hay, and some readers might wish for a clearer picture of the unique tools, such as a riding planter that punches holes and squirts water while two sisters hand plant tomatoes, or a crimper that wrings moisture from the grass as it is dragged along. Horse lovers, however, will appreciate the artist's luminous and strong renditions of various animals and the informative glossary. A fine addition to the growing shelf of books about the Amish and their lives.-Susan Hepler, Burgundy Farm Country Day School, Alexandria, VA
