Fritz and the Beautiful Horses by Jan Brett is a heartwarming children’s story about a small, sturdy pony named Fritz who lives outside the walls of a city that only allows beautiful horses inside. Unlike the elegant and graceful horses within the city, Fritz is stocky and shaggy, but he is also gentle, kind, and surefooted. Despite being overlooked by the townspeople, he remains patient and helpful to those who visit from the countryside.
One day, the city’s beautiful horses become frightened and run away, leaving the people stranded. When Fritz sees their distress, he bravely steps in to carry them safely across a dangerous bridge, proving that his kindness and reliability are more valuable than mere beauty. The townspeople recognize Fritz’s true worth and welcome him inside the city, where he is finally appreciated for his courage and gentle nature. The story teaches an important lesson about valuing inner qualities over outward appearances.
