Once there was a dad who was really good at playing horsey.
So good, in fact, that he was mistaken for a real horse and kidnapped by rustlers!
But the dad was smarter than those horse thieves, and left a path of hoofprints for his kids to follow - through a rodeo, a circus, a polo match, a racetrack, and even Canada!
Troy Cummings, author-Illustrator of "The Eensy Weensy Spider Freaks Out!," has written another rollicking and hilarious picture book that parents and kids will love.

What I Loved:
The story begins like any average kid's story but then takes a sharp left turn into a whirlwind of imaginative play. I found myself smiling the entire time I was reading. The author perfectly captures the make-believe world kids see as they play ordinary games. Colorful, cartoon-ish illustrations complement the narrative well.
What Left Me Wanting More:
Absolutely nothing. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and predict it will become a favorite with my children.
Final Verdict:
Colorful illustrations and a delightfully imaginative story will make this book a favorite with parents and children alike.
