Colorists and carousel lovers of all ages will delight in Christy Shaffer's 30 finely drawn, ready-to-color illustrations, all based on authentic antique carvings. Each is accompanied by a caption detailing fascinating facts about the animals - proud stallions in armor, prancing ponies with floral garlands, camels, zebras, giraffes, and many more. Of special note are illustrations of a woodcrafter carving pony heads, an unadorned horse for which would-be artists can provide colorful trappings, and a double-page spread of a gloriously equipped old carousel. Paperback, 32 pages. ISBN:486408043. DOVER
