Mabel and the Forest Horse

Mabel and Sol have a wonderfully silly idea: they’ll make a dance with moves chosen by the forest. A puddle inspires a splash, a skipping leaf suggests a hop, and a sneeze gives Mabel another move to try. But when the leaves whirl too quickly, their steps become a tangle. And on the day Mabel is ready to dance it all, the forest is quiet. No rustle, splash, or sneeze tells them what to do next. Can Mabel and her gentle horse friend find a way to keep their dance going?

With playful sounds, lively movement, and a friendship built through trying things together, this picture book makes a cheerful read-aloud for preschoolers. Little dancers can join the splishes, swishes, and sneezy bobs as Mabel and Sol discover that a dance can begin in an unexpected way.
