My Pony Jack at Riding Lessons (Easy-to-Read,Viking)
PreSchool-Grade 1–With one sentence per page, this book will satisfy emergent readers–especially those who have some experience riding. The story line is a brief overview of Lacy's lesson, including her arrival at Jack's stall, her trainer's directives and instruction, and a brush down and a nuzzle. The accuracy of the illustrations is commendable, from the design of the tack room to how a trainer touches the horse to the correct depiction of the trot and canter. Some new vocabulary is introduced, such as bridle and canter, and a glossary is included. An appealing choice for young horse lovers.–Laurel L.
