In this classic picture book from best-selling author-illustrator Jan Brett, Fritz the pony becomes a hero when he rescues the children of a walled city.

Outside the walled city of beautiful horses lives Fritz, a pony that is neither beautiful nor elegant, but very gentle and kind.When the bridge to the city breaks in half, it's up to Fritz to save the children stranded on the other side. This beautifully-illustrated picture book by best-selling author-illustrator Jan Brett celebrates a timely message of inner beauty.
