Harold Roth, A Day at the Races (Pantheon, 1983) A Day at the Races is another horse-related kids' book, a thing for which I have a demonstrated weakness. This one is chock-full of very nice black and white photographs, and concentrates more on the day-to-day routine of the backstretch than it does the majesty of racing itself (though there's plenty of that in the latter half of the book). There could never be enough good kids' books about horse racing, and this is certainly one of the good ones. ****
