Gigi The Story of a Merry-Go-Round Horse

Gigi The Story of a Merry-Go-Round Horse by Elizabeth Foster, 118 pages

Gigi was born in Vienna.  His mother was a pine tree and his father was the wind.  Gigi was a horse on the finest carousel in Vienna.  Everyone came to the park and all of the children wanted to ride Gigi after they got past the fact that he was new and untried.  Gigi even became the exclusive horse of the young Austrian prince.  When hard times came, Gigi was sold and started off on a journey that took him to France, England and the United States.  This is a short, sweet story told from Gigi's perspective about his travels and the children that he met and grew to love.  This is another book that I loved as a kid and I still do but that the library does not own.
