CHILDREN'S INFORMATIONAL: This is a very good example of an informational book for children. It is very well illustrated and contains age appropriate information. It goes over all sorts of parts of the horse, while also describing the history behind several horses. It is a fun way for children to learn about horses.

This book was very fun to read. I love horses so being able to read this book to my niece was very enjoyable. This book is a informational book so it starts off by telling the history of the horse. Then it moves on to talk about the different terminology for the different ages and sexes of horses. Next the story talks about the parts of the horse using correct vocabulary. The cat in the hat goes into deal about the different breeds of horses and shows pictures along with explaining about them. Once the breeds are talked about he goes on to explain the various parts both English and western tack. Teachers can use this book to help horse crazy students learn to read and expand their vocabulary. Another way teachers can you this book is to teach rhyming words. ( )
