If there's a horse-loving kid in your life, check out this soon-to-be-released book about the gentle giants. ALL ABOUT HORSES introduces elementary readers to all sorts of horsey facts.
Who knew there are hotbloods, coldbloods, and warmbloods in the world of horses? Author Kelly Milner Halls explains the history of horses and breeding in her clear, easy to understand text. Also, included are facts about their behavior and appearance. Added illustrations by Jessie Willow Tucker make recognizing various breeds, sizes, and colors fun.
Readers will find chapters on care and riding that offer valuable tips and will convince eager readers that there's a lot to the upkeep of these large creatures. Halls does an excellent job of reminding readers that even if they love horses, keeping them is a huge responsibility.
Scattered throughout the text are random facts about famous real and fictional horses. Fun jokes and quizzes round out the reading as additional entertainment. A glossary and other resources for further reading are also included.
