Review

"A horse is a horse, of course, of course, but when that horse has the gift of gab, and his best friend is Cowgirl Kate, then life on the ranch is never dull. Four short stories mark Cocoa and Kate's sixth adventure for the not-quite-ready-for-chapter-book set. . . . Giddyup!"--Horn Book "Gently amusing . . . . this episodic book has plenty of appeal."--Booklist --
