Murray the horse - Gavin Puckett

Murray
the horse dreams of winning big races just like the rest of his family
but he has one problem - he's just not that fast! When horse Ned Plumb
twists his ankle at the start line, his jockey spots Murray in the crowd
and says, 'Fancy a race?' Murray finally gets his chance to shine and
beat the neigh-sayers with a rather unusual race technique...

Written in winning verse, the accessible, bonkers writing in Murray the Horse
will charm boys and girls age 7-11 (and horse-lovers of all ages), and
is complemented by Frank Rodgers' modern classic black-and-white line
illustrations, and has a great message about believing in yourself and
following your dreams.
