About This Book

The soft rumble of hooves shakes the ground beneath Ralphi's feet as he watches his siblings play with their shiny horns. The cool, rough texture of the grass tickles his toes—he wishes he had a horn too. Feeling left out, Ralphi sets off on a quiet adventure, hoping to find a way to join the fun.

Quick Assessment

When he borrows horns from other animals, children learn about feelings of belonging and creativity. Suitable for early readers aged 5 to 8, it offers a warm message without any intense content.
