THERE IS NO BETTER INTRODUCTION TO THE WORLD OF HORSES

.Horses have to be among the best loved of all animals. This book is a celebration of these magnificent creatures. This book is highly informative at a level readily understood by young readers.We are given a comprehensive profile of all the main breeds. We learn about the life of a young foal, a horse's diet, and how to care for them.The book contains beautiful illustrations, particularly on the many transparent overlays. In the scene of the equestrian jump, you have the horse coming towards you on one page and then there is a rear view on the next. You get a real sense of movement.For the young zoologist we are shown who are the relatives of the horse. Most of us would know that the horse and the donkey are cousins but would you have guessed that the rhinoceros is part of the horse family?These classy "First Discovery" books have both style and substance. They will appeal to children who enjoy pictorial qualities in a book. They will also appreciate and benefit from their factual content.Most highly recommended. 5 out of 5.
