Hattie really wants a horse but instead her father comes home with a grumpy donkey. To fit in with the horse girls at school, Hattie tells a big lie. She says she has three white horses at home. Hattie has to keep lying about the horses but then she grows to love Olaf the donkey. Hattie + Olaf is a funny novel, and will appeal to girls aged eight or older whose parents won’t buy them a horse, and to those who have horses too. I loved this book. It reminded me of Pippi Longstocking.
