About this title

From School Library Journal:

Grade 4-6-This outstanding collection features excerpts from 11 classic horse stories. It includes such beloved authors as Marguerite Henry, Elyne Mitchell, Anna Sewell, Lewis Carroll, Mary O'Hara, and Walter Farley. Each selection is followed by an attractively laid out page of facts that answers questions the preceding story may have raised. Unfortunately, Puddephatt's engaging illustrations are marred on three occasions by a mismatch between a horse's description and the color in the picture. Fact pages feature mostly photographs to illustrate points discussed. The excerpts are a perfect bridge to introduce the full-length works of these established authors.
