Reading levels for this children's non-fiction book are aimed at Grades 2-3. The interest levels are at Grades 1-3. However, as an adult, I found this of interest and have learned a thing or two myself.
I like how the book is divided into short sections dealing with the various body parts of a horse such as the hooves, tails, faces and so on. Then a young reader can learn about the different breeds and colors of horses, the care of horses, their body language and even what a male and female horse is called when its born, as it grows and as an adult horse.
There are mini side bars of extra tidbits of information a curious reader may graze at to learn more. At book's end one will find a mini test and a glossary. In my opinion, this is a short but sweet learning experience not too heavily laden with facts but a nice basic introduction to the equine family of the animal kingdom, at least of those that are still in existence today. It all makes for good horse sense.
