Itty and Bitty: Two Miniature Horses

*Children and horse lovers will delight in this odd equine couple—
Bitty, the messy slob, and Itty, the fussy show off. Though opposites,
they are best buddies, and together get into mini mischief as they watch TV, dance a jig, drive a car, and cavort across the pages of this delightful book. Listen to them neigh and gallop!
*Miniature horses are even smaller than ponies, and because of their
diminutive size, get into situations that are unusually silly. Many
of their antics are drawn from stories told about minis from their owners.
*Itty and Bitty are "real" horses, who live in Texas and are becoming
celebrities in their own right. They visit hospitals, schools, book
signings, and other non-horse related functions, to the delight of all.
*While many books are written about ponies and horses, few actually
explore the delightful breed of miniature horses, and their tiny size
delights little children. Their "smallness" is subject of much of
the humor.
*These "mini" verses are short enough for children to easily read, remember, and memorize.The playfulness of the minis is captured in the word play of the rhymed text.
*The illustrator's watercolors add visual puns to the text. Children enjoy hunting for the funny details that Dana Bauer includes in her whimsical illustrations.
