The story was good and interesting. Predictable in the way that children's books are. The illustrations were wonderful! So much detail. The texture and depth just fantastic.

A great story by Jan Brett. Fritz and the Beautiful Horses is a story about a not so beautiful little pony that is left out and how he comes to be accepted by being helpful.
I'm not sure I really like the implied message behind this story: if you're ugly, you'd better have something else to offer. But the story is cute anyway and Jan Brett always makes excellent illustrations.

I was OBSESSED with this book when I was a kid. It is so so so so beautiful (duh, Jan Brett's the best). I think I liked how fancy the fancy horses are (so fancy!), and also how cute and scrappy Fritz is. My mother gave me a hardcover copy for my birthday a few years ago and I totally love it just as much as I did when I was little.

My two year old daughter loves this book! Such a sweet little story about beauty, and the superiority of a beautiful character over a beautiful appearance. A great lesson for children. And the illustrations are so lovely!

I loved this book as a little girl and I love it now (and so does my 2 year old son.) Jan Brett's illustrations are breathtaking. The story is timeless and so cute. Seriously, every child should read this book.

This book was before Jan Brett found her style. There are no margin paintings. And yet, the book is beautiful and the art is fantastic. I like the story of the pony overcoming his 'station' in life. It's about looking deeper at things. This has to be one of Jan's first books. She has a strong voice from the beginning.
The kids were a fan of this one too. It's a quick and easy read and my niece read this one to us. They gave it 4 stars as well.
