Description

Gramps gets a good bargain on an apparently perfect bay mare for Lily, but because the horse is named Beware he suspects that there may be something wrong with her. Lily and her mother live on a farm with Gran and horse-trader Gramp. When he brings home a new mare, he is suspicious of her name, "Beware," and supervises Lily's actions around her. As the two of them investigate how Beware got her name, Gramp communicates useful handling tips and Lily falls in love with her seemingly perfect horse. Beware ends the mystery in a somewhat disappointing scene; she demands to have her itchy belly scratched when blackflies bother her. Told in the third-person, the book will capture young horse lovers with its believable characters and realistic dialogue. Simple vocabulary and short sentences make it accessible for transitional or slow readers.
