I love horses. L.O.V.E. Love them! When I was a child, I would try to draw horses over and over again (they were very hard for me to draw!), and my parents finally enrolled me in horseback riding lessons. Then a few years later, they actually bought us a horse! Smokey Twilight was his name, and he was a Tennessee Walker. So needless to say, I scoop up any and all horse books any chance I get. 🐴 🐎

Horses! is an all encompassing read full of fun facts and information about horses. Also included are beautiful pictures on every page. I learned so many new things by reading this, and I think when I pick it up again, there will be even more to learn. Horses! is entertaining and engaging, and children and parents alike will enjoy reading this book together. I highly recommend this top notch, special book.

Thanks to Animal Planet, Time Inc. Books, and Netgalley, for the opportunity to read and review this special book.

This is a great non-fiction book geared to young readers. The images and illustrations are amazing and give even more information in the captions. There is so much information in this book that youngsters will need to read this in several sittings. From birth, family life, food, appearances, breeds, uses etc. it is all here. There are sections called Fact Files that give more facts and often compare horses to other animals. There are 12 chapters and 4 sections called Horse Sense each covering a different topic. I learned things about horses that I did not know and with the pronunciation guides, found there were words I had been pronouncing incorrectly all these years. There are also resources listed at the back of the book for further study.

This is a good book for young readers to learn about horses. This seems to be a topic that is always of interest to children due to the beauty of these animals. I recommend this book to school, classroom and public libraries. This would be a great book for those reluctant readers as it does not seem like you are reading when going through this book.
