Steve the Horse.Steve the Horse wants to be exceptional ... you know, like a peacock! His friend Bob tries to reassure him that he's special, but Bob can't seem to think of anything exceptional about him. Steve is discouraged ... That is, until he finds a shiny gold horn in the forest. Obviously, somebody left this exceptional horn for him to find! He ties it to his head and prances off to show his friends. Who's exceptional now? Steve, that's who!

      K-Gr 3-A prominently toothed horse named Steve and his best raccoon-friend Bob cross paths with a peacock who is sporting exceptional plumage. It gets Steve thinking that he seems quite ordinary in comparison. So off he sets to find his swag and he stumbles upon just the thing-a golden horn. Tied atop his head, this horn is a one-way ticket to equine exceptionality. Steve has newfound confidence aplenty as he shows off his gilded accessory to all of his forest friends. But as gravity takes hold, the horn slides further and further down Steve's head until he is convinced it has disappeared. How will he be special without it? The surprisingly weighty lesson here: it's not the shiny gold horn that makes us exceptional. This graphic novel with a small word count and beginning vocabulary is based on its picture book predecessor of the same name and is geared toward emergent readers. VERDICT All of Steve's silliness will initially draw readers in, while his need to stand out is so relatable that they will stay to see how his exceptional adventure ends.-Sarah Simpson
