(3) 4-6 Inside Out series. This intensive look at horse bodies features large, full-color anatomical drawings on each packed page highlighting successive anatomical systems (via die-cuts): muscular, skeletal, nervous, digestive, etc. Bite-sized text blocks and additional photos and drawings explain how horses' anatomy relates to their health and behavior and offer (sometimes loosely connected) topics like "mini whinnies" (miniature horses) or horse body language. Whether it's explaining how tissues in horses' feet act like supplemental hearts pumping blood back up the leg with each step or pointing out that horses are unable to vomit, this immersive, volume feeds enthusiasts' appetites for all things horse.
