If I Was a Horse by Sophie Blackall

If you were a horse instead of a child, what would your life be like? 

Thoughts: I love books that engage children in imagination. If I Was a Horse would be a lovely addition to a storytime about imagination, horses, or questions. The story is brief yet thoughtful. The illustrations are colorful and detailed. I especially love the fields of dandelions and the detail that the child is wearing a polka dot shirt so of course their horse self is spotted. 

Themes: Imagination, Horses, Questions
