    From #1 science writer for kids Gail Gibbons, learn the latest facts about horses in this updated introduction to everyone’s dream pet–the horse!

    No other animal has captured people's imaginations or changed their lives as has the horse. Their grace, strength, and beauty have made horses sought after as well as useful. What would kings and queens, knights and conquistadores, cowboys and stagecoach drivers, or farmers have done without them? Breeding horses was Queen Elizabeth II’s favorite hobby. 

    In this informative book, Gail Gibbons relates some of the long history that horses and humans have shared. She looks at horse biology and behavior. Learn about different horse breeds and how to take care of this majestic animal.  Colorful, clear, and accessible diagrams are perfect for the youngest horse enthusiast.
    According to The Washington Post, Gail Gibbons "has taught more preschoolers and early readers about the world than any other children's writer-illustrator." Ms. Gibbons is the author of more than 100 books for young readers on a wide range of subjects. As an artist and a previous graphic designer for SNL, she brings educational information to life with bright, clear illustrations. Her many honors include the Washington Post/Children's Book Guild Nonfiction Award and the NSTA Outstanding Science Trade Book Award.
