First published in 1961, this charming story follows a young boy named Edward who resides in the towering heights of New York and yearns for a companion to keep him company. Edward resides on the twenty-first floor of a vast apartment building in New York, which features a sign in the lobby that reads: 'No dogs or cats allowed. This isn't much fun for someone like Edward, who would have loved a dog or cat to keep him company, or even more than that, a horse. However, the sign doesn't say anything about horses...

Edward embarks on a quest to find a horse that enjoys the city and won't break the bank to maintain. With the assistance of a friendly fireman, Edward discovers Smitty, whom he unhitches from a vegetable cart and takes home immediately. Before Edward and Smitty can reach the freight elevator, they are stopped by Smitty's owner, who kindly offers to let Edward ride with them around the city whenever he pleases.
