The Water Horse

The Water Horse
- Great product!
Dick King-Smithâ€™s classic story about a very unusual petâ€”a water horse!â€”returns with a charming new cover to win over a new generation of readers!
Â
When eight-year-old Kirstie finds a strange egg near her home, she has no idea what will come out. Part horse, part toad, part turtle, and part crocodile? Only Kirstieâ€™s grandfather knows what it is: a water horse! While it is certainly the oddest-looking creature Kirstie has ever seen, it is also the gentlest. But soon, the unusual pet gets bigger. And bigger. And BIGGER. Will Kirstie and her family be able to keep their new pet or will he have to make a splash in someone elseâ€™s home?
Â
â€œA rich, mostly tender fairy tale that combines elements of such childrenâ€™s classics as The Secret of Roan Inish, E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial, and Born Free. . . . Combining the best of fantasy and somber reflection, The Water Horse is a lovely ride.â€ â€”The Washington Post on the film adaptation
Â
â€œWell-written, fast-paced . . . with appealing, distinctive characters, humor, and drama. King-Smithâ€™s imaginative spin on an old myth makes the outrageous possible.â€ â€”BooklistÂ
Â
â€œOne of the most delightful childrenâ€™s authors.â€ â€”The Guardian on Dick King-Smith
