Just about perfect

My 2 year old son is in love with horses. He and his grandfather read about horses and ride horses together. He loves to have any bed time story as long as it has a horse in it. He loves the pictures even though some of the horses are hard to see and the pictures are light. This book is perfect for him. He loves the poetry and sing-song of the words. He and his grandpa will spend hours reading this book.
