(4) K-3 Illustrated by Rosalyn Schanzer. Statements such as "Horses walk on tiptoe" and "Horses sleep for hours at a time" accompany the question "True or false?" and are then followed by spreads discussing horse physiology, history, and communication. Bland, prettified color drawings of horses, plus the fact that the truth or falsity of each statement is never spelled out, detract from the usefulness for younger readers of this otherwise informative volume.
