Sergeant Reckless: The True Story of the Little Horse Who Became a Hero

They had no idea that the skinny, underfed horse had one of the biggest and bravest hearts they'd ever known. Author's note with photograph. Selected bibliography. Full-color illustrations were drawn with pencil and colored digitally.
