Review Detail

Terrible Horses is a story of sibling conflict and reconciliation that is relatable to anyone out there with a sibling. The young brother just wants to spend time with his older sister but does not have the words to ask nicely. This results in a lot of fighting and hurt feelings. To cope, the boy writes about terrible horses that leave him behind and are always bigger than him. His sister and he bond when she sees his story. This is a relatable story and I like that the boy journals or draws pictures to handle his emotions. Overall, this story is great for introducing journaling and for young readers to understand this is a common problem and open a dialogue on how to communicate better with their siblings.
