This review is from: The Kids' Horse Book (Paperback)

My daughter, who is 8, LOVES this book. She has been horse crazy now (like her mother) for a year and is taking lessons. The book has lots of very interesting facts that she is always quoting to us. She also really loved the list of "How to tell if you are horse crazy". She went down the list and marked every one except the last, shopping on the internet for a horse. Since her teacher was looking for a new pony, my daughter begged to let her help look for one. So my daughter was able to finally put down that she was certifiably horse crazy.
The factual information is very useful for her and it is lots of fun. I highly recommend this book!

This book is informative and holds my childrens attention for a little while and they do ask plenty of questions. Still I know that they will enjoy it more & more as they get older. A great buy and would purchase again.
