All the horses of Storybook Stables are excited to meet the latest addition to their herd. As Marvin the miniature horse arrives in a trailer, the horses think he is the tiniest and cutest horse they have ever seen. Unfortunately, Marvin is not as excited to meet them as they are him. Every time one of the big horses approaches to welcome him, Marvin frowns, backs his ears, shows his teeth, and charges. When the big horses grow tired of his rejections and decide to leave him alone, Marvin calls the horses names, treats them badly, and bullies them into giving up their grass and water. Will the caring herd ever find a way to teach Marvin a lesson in kindness and friendship? Marvin the Mini: The Barnyard Bully is the delightful tale of how a little horse with a big attitude learns a valuable life lesson from his new herd. Based on stories of real horses once boarded at Cherry Point Saddle Club, aboard MCAS Cherry Point, Storybook Stables delights readers with whimsical and heartwarming stories of what can happen if you only take time to watch and listen to what the animals might be saying and the lessons they could be trying to teach. For an added touch of whimsy and fun, see if you can find the unicorn hiding somewhere in the book! Illustrator, Laurie, says everyone could use a few more unicorns and rainbows!
