My Children Love This Book

We received this book as a birthday present for my 6 year old son. Now I'm not sure who loves it more - my 6 year old or my 8 year old daughter. Both children have requested this book as their "bedtime story," 9 times out of 10, since it arrived in our home. They love the horse facts almost as much as the illustrations. This one's a keeper!Kathleen DeGregorio

Beautiful work!

Great book for anyone wanting to know about horses especially those who don't know much about them. Beautiful artwork throughout the entire book-my favorite is the child kissing the nose. A book sensitive to one of the most beautiful animals and perfect for horse lovers of all ages. Makes a great gift-I've bought copies for my nieces who are just beginning to ride horses. Kudos to the author and artist!

Great book!

The book is filled with wonderful artistic drawings of horses that look very realistic. Each picture coincides with the educational descriptions of "why horses do things". My child loves this book! I recommend it highly!

Great Illustrations

I was so impressed by the amout of detail put into each illustration in order to demonstrat each "curious behavior". The illustrations are so realistic. It just brings each horse and behavior to live. Each horse was beautifully portrayed by the artist. I am looking forward to more art by Beth Messina!!!!!

Great book and images

This is an excellent book for children learning about horses. It gives them an overall view of horses in general without being too technical. Even adults wanting a general view of horses could gain knowledge from this book. The pictures are very well done and coincide with the text. Training techniques vary from one horse owner to another and from one horse to another, so it is not a technical book, nor should it be taken as one.
