"Vividly brings to life the story of Sergeant Reckless, the only animal to officially hold military rank in the United States. This endearing story of wartime camaraderie won't soon be forgotten." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "A rousing success. An engaging slice of history." -- Booklist (starred review) "[An] intriguing historical tale of an underdog. A warm human (and horse) interest story that feels fresh off a newsreel." -- Kirkus Reviews "Excellent. This well-illustrated war story will appeal to many, especially fans of Michael Morpurgo's War Horse.

A strong selection." -- School Library Journal "Engaging." -- The Horn Book "A lively look at wartime animal heroism." -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books.
