(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Alecia Underhill. This compendium of all things equine is both in-depth and comprehensive. Topics range from horse body language to horse books and movies to equine careers. Sidebars and black-and-white vignettes make the friendly narration and browsable format extra inviting. Even longtime horse aficionados (including the no-less-fervent minority of horse-crazy boys) can discover fresh information in this engaging volume. Bib., ind.
