A fun easy read! Think Dr.Suess goes to a horse show. Very cute!
What a cute book for people who have ridden in horse shows or plan to ride in horse shows. I bought a copy each for myself and my sister to remind us both of our horse showing days!

Well done book very interesting and educational
So I bought this for my grand baby. My daughter had a book shower and I had never seen these style of Cat in the Hat books. Well, wow just wow. So much information in these books, it’s incredible. I plan on buying the whole set for my grand baby as she gets older.

Book is excellent with a lot of information about horses that would be at a higher level than really young child. I learned a lot about horses that I did not know. You would have to improvise for younger children, but book is excellent.
