Rinehart & Winston, New York, 1964, 190 pp, illus Sheila Greenwald
Amy and Berne want a horse. Mr Peneck offers to sell them a sorrel colt, who looks like the sorrel horse their grandfather used to own. They do everything they can think of to raise money; make jewellery, cut the grass, baby sit and hunt rabbits.
