Blackie and the Milkman's Horse book illustrations

Summary: Donald Bisset's "Blackie and the Milkman's Horse" is a short story about a horse named Reginald and his friend Blackie, a little black dog. Reginald dreams of becoming a racehorse and winning the Derby, while Blackie wants to run fast like a greyhound. The two friends attempt to eat coal to increase their speed, but are caught by the landlady and run away. Just then, the Mayor who spots them from the window, recognizes Reginald's potential to win the Derby and Blackie's greyhound-like qualities and decides to award them each a medal for their abilities.

The illustrations highlight key moments and emotions in the story, such as Reginald's dream of becoming a racehorse and Blackie's desire to run like a greyhound.

They also show the Mayor's surprise and admiration for Reginald's speed and his decision to award the medals, which adds a touch of humor and warmth to the story.

The final illustration brings the story to a conclusion with a celebratory scene of Reginald and Blackie enjoying their newfound success.
