Customer Reviews

Horse Heroes

excellent book. I will be sending it to my five year old niece who loves horses.

Good stuff.

Kate Petty, Horse Heroes: The Stories of Amazing Horses (Dorling Kindersley, 1999) Horse Heroes is another forty-eight page kids' reader about horses. Yes, I seem to be reading a lot of those lately. This one's kind of fun. Petty presents us with four to five page stories on a number of different horses, of disparate breeds and achievements, and makes them interesting and fun to read about. Definitely worthwhile for the horse-loving kid in your life. *** ½

Lots of Fun

I just read a great book called Horse Heroes by Kate Petty. I liked it because the stories were true and exciting and the pictures in the book were really neat. I think that young kids who like horses would like this book.
