The Horse That Ate Christmas is a true story about Zsir, a dancing horse, who opened his stall door on a snowy Christmas Eve and ate all the apples, candy canes, carrots and pears in his eleven stablemates’ Christmas stockings. Zsir goes to bed with a tummy ache. Can Dr. McNutt come to the rescue? Can Aunt Amy and Zsir save Christmas for the other horses? This story is written for prekindergarten through third-grade students. It is filled with colorful, realistic illustrations of the Christmas Eve adventure of Zsir and his horse friends.
