Witnessing the routine at the Rocky Mountain Stables for ten years, which includes the disappearance of every imperfect horse, Old Bailey the mare decides to escape when she learns she is scheduled to be taken away.

Ages 5^-8. Old Bailey, a wise and kindly mare, is loved by all the horses at the Rocky Mountain Stables except beautiful young Stocking--who doesn't miss a chance to remind Bailey of the ill fate that befalls old horses. When a new owner takes over the stables and promises big changes, Old Bailey knows her days are numbered. Her courageous decision to escape, and Stocking's surprising reaction, will leave readers cheering. Zhang's lovely acrylic illustrations provide a scenic backdrop of majestic mountains and peaceful countryside. The story starts rather slowly, but children who stick with it will be rewarded with a tale of unusual depth that raises some intriguing questions. With more text than the average picture book, this is also a good choice for youngsters making the transition to chapter books. Lauren Peterson
