Horatio and the Sky-High Rescue

by Christine Yanes

Curious and Inquisitive are calling for help from behind a jammed rooftop door when an unexpected visitor taps with a horn. Horatio, a flying army goat, has arrived—and he promises to get the two friends down to the meadow.

But a gust sends Horatio’s scarf flapping across his nose, making a flight with passengers too risky. First, the friends must work together to open the stubborn latch. Then the staircase beyond the door curls out of sight, and Horatio’s hooves stop at the very first step. He can help his young passengers face the twisting stairs, but this brave rescuer has a worry of his own. Can Curious and Inquisitive find a way to guide him down?

With clinks, clops, a gusty rooftop and a staircase that feels daunting one step at a time, Horatio and the Sky-High Rescue is a warm picture-book adventure about friendship, courage, and helping one another. Its gentle humor and steady rhythm make it a lovely read-aloud for preschoolers and families to share.
