We definitely need more books like this which highlight the importance of accepting who you are rather than following what the crowd does. Because even though the animals scoff at Steve, you notice in the illustrations they all start tying other things to their heads to be more exceptional. Little Blue Truck has been chugging along since 2008, but there seems to be plenty of gas left in the tank.

The tale of the endearingly self-absorbed horse, “A Horse Named Steve” was released in 2017 by Canadian independent children’s publisher Kids Can Press, which celebrates its 50 th anniversary this year. A sweet and slightly quirky book, Steve the Horse is one of those comical titles whose humor isn't quite in sync with mine - humor is extremely idiosyncratic, I find, and my funny-bone can be hard to locate - but which nevertheless strikes me as entertaining. Families can talk about what makes each member of the family exceptional, like what Steve hopes for in A Horse Named Steve. The tone of the book allows children to feel like they’re in on the joke while the main character isn’t, adding to the amusement.

We’re always on the lookout for stories that will appeal to creators of other children’s entertainment media, as Kelly’s work clearly has.

For instance, I absolutely ADORED the ‘Sniff Sniff’ and ‘Nom Nom’ inserts, and found them immensely entertaining! I loved the book from start to finish and now I feel that I am truly an EXCEPTIONAL (and ORIGINAL ) blogger, no props needed.Humorously, Steve manages to strap the horn to his head and prances off to show his friends what he has discovered. Nelvana Studios VP Athena Georgaklis added, “Steve’s larger-than-life antics and slapstick comedy have delighted both children and adults alike. Ryan covers tech, talent and general kids entertainment news, with a passion for kids rap content and video games. A Horse Named Steve follows an endearingly silly horse named Steve who finds a magical golden horn in the forest. I can’t wait to see Steve strutting around on TV screens, having found the perfect home with Sixteen South and Nelvana.
