I know because I've read a couple reviews of this. That's his sidekick. He's a talking horse.
Yeah, I mean these are number one New York Times best-selling books.
What I hate about them is that they're really quality printing jobs. Like people talked about that in the reviews, but like no, look at this. Look at it, like beautiful illustrations.

It was described as a children's history adventure book with time travel and a talking horse, but was heavily criticized for being poorly written, containing right-wing ideology, and having a questionable purpose.
I know because I've read a couple reviews of this. That's his sidekick. He's a talking horse.

What I hate about them is that they're really quality printing jobs. Like people talked about that in the reviews, but like no, look at this. Look at it, like beautiful illustrations. Oh yeah, photos and stuff. It's a really well put together book.
