Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Dedicated equestrians will want Cherry Hill's Horse Care for Kids by Cherry Hill. The comprehensive guide helps children and their parents choose the right horse and gives guidelines for safe handling and proper care. Full-color illustrations and photographs appear throughout; a glossary, index and extensive resource listings are also provided. Raptors!: A Kid's Guide to Birds of Prey by Christyna and Ren Laubach and Charles W.G. Smith guides bird watchers with information about their appearance, wingspan, call, habitat and more.
Copyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc.
From School Library Journal
Grade 4-8-A book supposedly for families who are about to buy a horse and have no prior knowledge of horses or their care. Hill's tone seems almost condescending at times. People who know as little as the author assumes and take on the responsibility of horse ownership are in trouble, and this book does not offer enough information to get them out of it. There is some sound advice here, but it isn't appropriately written for a novice audience. In "Finding the Right Horse," readers are advised to "look for one with good training and manners and a soft eye." Unless they are fairly experienced, prospective buyers won't have any idea how to evaluate the animal's training or know what "a soft eye" is. Horse-loving young readers will be better served by Sandy Ransford's Horse & Pony Care (Kingfisher, 2002) or Jackie Budd's Horse & Pony Care (Gareth Stevens, 1998).
