Books like Madeline in London

We love this book, we haven't read it for years. An absolute favourite of my daughter when small, still really enjoyable now.Madeline and her school go to London to visit Pepito who has been pining for his friends. They decide to buy him a gift and as they can't afford a young horse they buy a retired horse who brushes up like new. The horses antics really made my daughter laugh and we love the way he is taken home to the house covered in vines and incorporated into their bedtime routine.We love the hunour and use of colour.
