Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 3-5–The question-and-answer format of this title will appeal to children who want answers to a wide range of questions, all of which are presented in large type and a clear, simple text. Colorful photographs are plentiful, although a few of them are not sufficiently labeled. A detailed illustration of the parts of a horse is informative. The table of contents lists all the questions that are answered, but there is no glossary to help with words such as taxidermist. Children who are writing reports about horses will need to use materials that provide more detailed and better-organized information about the basic biology of horses. A list of Web sites is nicely annotated, although some of them are not designed for this book's audience and a few are not easily available at the address provided. This book is an additional purchase, albeit one that will be popular.–Kirsten Cutler, Sonoma Library, CA

I bought this for my 5 year-old grandaughter. She is an avid horse fan and rider. She loved the book, which was full of age-appropriate information regarding horses.

Even though my grand daugther is only 4 she really enjoys listening to this book read to her. I'm sure it is written for older children but since she is so in love with horses right now she hangs on every word. My husband & I have learned a few things too.
