comprehensive book on wild horses for youth and adults

Wild Horses: Stories and Activities is a wonderfully written, nicely illustrated book that would appeal to adults and children alike. Chock-full of stories, games, graphics and short essays, this book explains the natural history of the horse as well as the history of the wild horse movement. The Adopt-a-Horse movement is explored in a short story and followed up with various activities that enhance the learning for the children and get them more involved. I especially liked the stories and essays about natural selection which explained this phenomenon in a way that children could understand, and also was interesting to adults as well.As a graphic artist, I found the illustrations to be enormously helpful in enhancing the text, and very effective in the interactive games and activities. My daughter (9 years old) and I both learned a lot about horses and wild horses in particular. She delighted in the games and projects and liked the gentle humor. She and I both had very limited knowledge about wild horses, so we found the essays and stories to be illuminating and just enough information to digest completely.I would highly recommend Wild Horses: Stories and Activities to children and adults who are interested in wild horses, and to those who are not! They soon will have interest and some "horse sense" after reading this book.
