In Quest of the Jewish Mary: The Mother of Jesus in History, Theology, and Spirituality
This attractive series aimed at equine enthusiasts highlights similarities and differences among popular breeds. Clydesdales covers the powerful horses, who are big and heavy, bred and still used today to work in teams to drag farm equipment and carriages. These books are attractively designed, with cream-colored pages overlaid with a theme with rope frames and horseshoes. Text and insert boxes are readable and interestingly written, and the information is clearly organized. Words with notable meanings for the subject are boldfaced and defined in a glossary. Plentiful, well-chosen color photographs include appealing images of foals, horses with riders, and children with horses. Each title also includes a photo of a horse with all its body parts labeled, from ears and poll to gaskin and tail. Metric system conversions within the series are not standardized, but this is a quibble. A child who reads one of these titles will probably want to go on and read them all. Grades 2-4. --Kathleen Isaacs--This text refers to theLibrary Bindingedition.
