Review
Ages 4-8 A simple, rhyming text introduces readers to horses the different breeds, their abilities in providing transportation, and all else they do. Police ride horses on their beats,/clip-clop-clop down city streets....They swim a stream./Jump a wall./Gallop after a polo ball. The animals are depicted working on farms, eating, and being cared for. Lovely, action-packed illustrations done in watercolors and colored pencils highlight the different hues and patterns found on the horses coats. White space is generously used to highlight scenes with jockeys racing horses and children enjoying riding. Other pages show horses decorated in circus and parade regalia, which will resonate with many youngsters who have not been exposed to their important presence and work on a farm. One enchanting spread illustrates horses pulling a red sled with smiling children through a snow-filled Christmas scene. This is an excellent addition for any collection, and it will extend knowledge about transportation that isn t man-made. --Anne Beier, Clifton Public Library, NJ, School Library Journal
