Tumble the wild mustang is introduced, and then half the book is immediately given over to a brief history of horses in North America before coming back to Tumble and his capture by men who put the spirited steed in a rodeo as a bucking bronco. Tumble yearns to be free and jumps at the first chance that comes along.

With only a sentence or two per page, this spare and barely there tale is like a precursor to Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron and only takes a couple minutes to read. ( )
