Nancy Garhan Attebury - Children's Literature
Gallop into the realm of horses with this book from "The World Of" series. Fascinating facts are sure to entertain and teach young horse lovers. But the book is not limited to horse lovers. It is for all readers who enjoy animals. Younger readers may entertain themselves by looking at the many illustrations that range from photographs and woodcuts to bright watercolors. Right off the bat an excellent contents page lets readers know what they are likely to find. Main categories are broken into four to six topics. Topics include "Horse Sense," "Grooming," and "Myth and Magic." The book is packed with informative, organized material. The pages display a few large print paragraphs, as well as diagrams, maps, and steps to follow in small print. Sections on plants poisonous to horses, rules for feeding, and horses as used for transportation are indicative of the diverse ideas covered. If there is anything that limits this book, it is the lack of information about the large number of working western cow horses of today. The only information about western cow horses is featured in the rodeo section. There should be more information on working cow horses. Nevertheless, much can be gained from reading this book. An excellent glossary and index follow the main text. 2004, Kingfisher/Houghton Mifflin, Ages 8 to 12.
