I was a kid in the 1950s when it seemed like half the TV shows and movies were westerns, so of course, most kids wanted their own horse. I settled for a bicycle, but I guess that fantasy of having my own horse never completely went away. So I've always been kind of intrigued with horses. Kate Garcia's little book has a wealth of interesting facts about horses, with accompanying color photography that complements the text very well.The book is a series of brief descriptions of a horse's anatomy and how they live, eat, sleep, and play. There are also some fascinating tidbits about horse psychology. Remarkably, horses are one of the few animals that have been domesticated but also still live in the wild. Horses are social animals, and if other horses are not around, they often make friends with other animals like dogs or cats. There are several photographs of young children with their ponies. I promise that if your own kids see these, they're going to want a horse of their own!It's a marvelous book for kids or adults who want to learn a bit more about horses.Note: My review is based on the Kindle version of the book that I read.
