# On the Day the Horse Got Out - Hardcover

by **Audrey Helen Weber** (Author)

**Perfect for fans of _They All Saw a Cat_ or _Du Iz Tak?_, here is a standout picture book debut about curiosity, cause-and-effect, and connectedness, which blends child-appealing rhyme with playful, distinctive artwork.**

In this gorgeously rendered tale, Audrey Helen Weber masterfully blends suspense and nonsense, imaginative artwork, and a flawless rhythm that evokes some of the most beloved read-aloud classics, from Mother Goose to Eric Carle. _On the day the horse got out . ._ _the bells all rang,_ _the birds flew south,_ _the rabbit dug a bit too deep,_ _and the beetle cried out in its sleep..._ But what happened to the horse? Did she find what she was looking for? Drawing on the influence of nursery rhymes, fables, folklore, folk art, and mythology--and combined with Audrey Helen Weber's own playful and surreal sensibility, page-turning suspense and read-aloud magic--here is a transcendent journey that tells a new story with every read.
