About this item
Seabiscuit didn't start out a winner. He was a runt who was squat and funny looking. But Seabiscuit became a champion, and during the dark days of the Depression, he grew so popular that newspapers, radio shows, and magazines covered his every move. The soul and personality of this great-hearted horse are captured in this lively easy reader with beautiful illustrations as well as period photos. Illustrated by Mark Rowe.
