Murray the horse dreams of winning big races just like the rest of his family but he has one problem - he`s just not that fast! When horse Ned Plumb twists his ankle at the start line, his jockey spots Murray in the crowd and says, `Fancy a race?` Murray finally gets his chance to shine and beat the neigh-sayers with a rather unusual race technique...Written in winning verse, the accessible, bonkers writing in Murray the Horse will charm boys and girls age 7-11 (and horse-lovers of all ages), is complemented by Tor Freeman`s hilarious illustrations, and has a great message about believing in yourself and following your dreams.
