A true story, A Big Horse With a Big Heart is the first in the Rudy The Rudster book series. Entertaining, educational, and beautifully illustrated Rudy tells stories about his life and shares how he feels about the things he experiences. He takes kids on a journey as he makes new friends, bravely learns how to go on trail rides, and discovers water can be fun instead of frightening. His charismatic personality will capture children's hearts and make them want to know what's next? The book features an equine glossary, horse anatomy, and 20 Fun Horse Facts. The book is a hardcover middle reader (ages 6/11) and illustrated by Karen Busch Holman.
You'll never quite look at a horse the same way after reading this book. It's a favorite - not only of my young daughter who was probably 5 when her grandmother gifted it to her - but of mine as well. It really gives you a glimpse into the thoughts and feelings of a horse like you never considered before. It's educational and engaging. It is a must read for ANY horse or animal lover. You will instantly fall in love with Rudy!
