"Tony was all white, large, sturdy, with wide gentle eyes and a ton of love."

This book's narrator poetically reminisces about his daily meetings with Tony, the milkman's horse. A moving story tenderly illustrated by Erin E. Stead, winner of the Caldecott Medal for children's illustration. A poem disguised as a picture book, written by a poet. The art lends the words a leisurely rhythm, and as they parade past, the pages immerse readers in each passing moment, teaching them to live in the present.
