geekwayne's review against another edition
3.0
'Centurion and Emperador' by Rob Schneider, Patricia Schneider and Francisco Herrera is a storybook based on two real life horses who were rescued. And yes, it's that Rob Schneider.
The Gamble Ranch has lots of farm animals, and no horses, until one day some storks get lost in a storm and deliver them to the ranch by mistake. From a young age, they are trained to run on the track, because that is what horses do. The problem is that these two horses don't run like other horses. There is something else they are good at,but will they find out what that is?
It's a cute enough horse story and the art is charming, except for the weird way the horses ears are drawn (they stick up like weird antennas). The lesson of the story is clear. There are even stories from the owners at the end and some real pictures of Centurion and Emperador, who are the stars of this book. It's nothing overly special, but if you have a kid who is nuts about horses, this might be a good one to read to them.
I received a review copy of this ebook from Magnetic Press, Diamond Book Distributors, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
