Horses: Trotting! Prancing! Racing!

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Joe Mathieu. In rhyming couplets, this horse-celebrating volume touches on care, horse behavior, and jobs horses do, though the random arrangement is awkward ("Horses buck and roll and snooze. Some of them wear iron shoes"). Gentle watercolor and pencil illustrations show chunky, oddly-proportioned horses, but the soft colors and textures and the subjects' good humor will appeal to a child's eye.
