(3) 4-6 History Comics series. Illustrated by Falynn Koch. In this lighthearted yet informative offering, two cartoon characters learn from a petroglyph horse about North America mustangs, from prehistoric equids on other continents to the reintroduction of horses by Spanish conquistadors, the dramatic horse raids of the Comanche in the American West, and Velma Johnston's (aka Wild Horse Annie) modern-day efforts to protect wild herds. Dynamic comics-panel illustrations use self-referential techniques to move the humorous narrative forward, while "Mane Idea" asides explore topics like horse diet and digestion. A timeline, further reading (including movies and websites), and appendices covering famous mustangs and mustangers close out this highly accessible volume.
