If you have a horse-crazy kid, this is a wonderful book to introduce them to different breeds and it's actually fun to read (each letter has a different alliteration "My big blonde Belgian will be my buddy..." Highly recommended!!

The little girl in the story dreams of having her own horse farm. She tells us of all the things she will have on her farm, starting with the letter A and going all the way to Z! This is a great little horse lovers alphabet book. On each page there is a letter any a horse related term. Sometimes it's a breed of horse and other times it's items that are used in riding.
I liked that the book can be enjoyed by children of all ages.
The book isn't just a picture book using the alphabet. It's a book that can tickle the fancy of a young horse lover, or even older ones, but it's also good for someone who wants to learn a bit more about horses. In the back there is a list of horse terms that are explained well.

This is a great alphabet book for horse lovers. Every letter is a horse or piece of horse riding equipment. Each letter has a sentence with lots of other words starting with the same letter. At the end of the book are 3 pages of text for adults to answer questions that curious readers may have. This reference section provides some very informative explanations of words used in the book. All told, the book has about 300 words. No young horse lover's library is complete without this book!

Cute book! As good as I was hoping it would be. My child loves it so far & will only like it more as time goes by. Great fun way to learn the ABC's!

Colorful, fun, educational - my niece will LOVE it! Just right for a little "city kid" as an introduction to the world of horses.

It's offical, my daughter has also been bitten by the "horse bug" and if your has too, you too will love this book! This is the story of Leelin Yao and she dreams of when she'll have her very own horse farm! Starting out with the letter A and ending with the letter Z, Leelin tells the reader what kind of horses will be living on her farm!

I love that the main character is Chinese, just like my daughter! This story is for both young and old horse lovers. The pictures are drawn using colored pencils, which to me is pleasing to the eye. At the end of the book there are 3 pages of more details on some of the horse and other things that the author talked. Because of that,this book will grow with my daughter and her love of horse! Now we listen to the words, pointing and saying horse, learning her alphabet, seeing a girl that looks like her and to spotting & naming certain breeds!

I bought this for my daughter's 5th birthday. Pictures are nice to look at and is a fun way to go through the alphabet. I gave it a four because I was disappointed that the author felt she had to bring in the evolution theory.I would recommend Snow Ponies, Blackie etc before this book.
