About this title

From the Inside Flap:

Mac's Mackinac Island Adventure, with text by Mary Beth Vachon and illustrations by Ann G. Rusky, introduces an engaging new character to children's summer reading. Mac has been called a stick-in-the-mud his whole life. “You'll never try anything new!” he's been told by friends. Now that Mac is ready for adventure, those friends are singing a different tune: “HORSES DON'T GO ON VACATION!” they tell Mac.Will Mac be discouraged and stay home? Hardly! At every stage of his routine-shattering adventure, the little horse has cold water thrown on his plans. “Horses don't do that!” he hears over and over. Against the colorful backdrop of Mackinac Island scenes, Mac gains valuable experience in thinking for himself, exploring his own potential as he explores the island.Suspense, surprise, clip-clopping rhymes and the fun of searching every picture for Mac's tiny mouse companion will have young readers racing through the book again and again. Children not reading yet for themselves will eagerly urge parents and babysitters, “Turn the page! Turn the page!”
