[Melissa · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book contains beautiful images of each type of horse and pony. It educates readers on everything pertaining to horses from types, to the caring of, and even careers related to horses.
My 6 year old daughter took great interest in the labels and maps providing further facts and information on each page.
The book is incredibly comprehensive but worded perfectly for a young elementary aged child to still understand.
My daughter also loved the detailed pages for each type of horse and pony. She learned proper names for different types of horse equipment and caring tools.
DK has provided another great nonfiction book to educate children on a loved animal.

My four year old and six year old (and myself, if I'm being honest) have thoroughly enjoyed reading though this book. We included it as part of our science study this week, and my daughter especially loved learning about all the different types of horses. The pictures were clear, large and the text was all educational and very interesting! I would definitely give this book as a gift to anyone who is a horse enthusiast!



Thank you DK/DK Children for this eARC!
