Customer Reviews

Classic fairy tale form, unique illustrations

This book features a unique mythical animal and a classic fairy tale format: 3 brothers, each vying for the hand of a princess. The two older brothers have character flaws, and the younger brother is virtuous, honest, and true. The imagery is dramatic, and I appreciated the bilingual elements. I think this story would appeal to children of all ages.

What I Think About Rainbow Colored Horse

I think Rainbow Colored Horeses is a great book because it's exciting. The main character was Pio and his brothers and also the Rainbow Colored Horse. The book was exciting but it was boring sometimes. We think that the ending was happy. This book is like Cinderella.
