Does your child love horses? We’re starting a week of looking at books about horses, one
of our current interests! Horses,
by Monica Kulling, is a shape book that introduces children to the world of
horses. The birth of a baby horse,
a foal, starts the reader on a journey to learn more about horses and the world
in which they live. The illustrations by Betina Ogden are beautiful pictures
that invite the reader to study and examine each detail of a horse’s life. We enjoyed learning about the grooming
and care of horses. Vocabulary is
introduced throughout the story in a way that encourages readers to use the
text to determine meaning. If your
child is interested in horses, this is a great book to introduce them to
various kinds of horses and the vocabulary used in talking about horses. Enjoy!
