In this narrative poem, a storm overwhelms the Royal Canadian Mounties, scattering their horses in all directions and resulting in the mysterious disappearance of one horse.
My youngest daughter and I checked this out of the library originally. We both loved it so much that we checked it out again and again. When I volunteered at the school, I tried to read it aloud to the class and couldn't get through it through the tears. I bought her, her own copy for Christmas last year even though she's 20 now and she says it's one of the best gifts she's ever gotten. Now I'm looking for a copy for me.
