This book is a collection of everything a child could ever wonder about horses! It contains everything from how horses have evolved, to war horses, to identifying horse breeds. Each page is absolutely filled with informational text, illustrations, and diagrams to help both the linguistic and visual learners obtain new, fascinating information. For example, under the section of Bones and Teeth on page ten, the text states, “when a foal is born, it may be toothless, but the milk, or baby teeth may erupt through the soft jaw bones” and a diagram on page 11 shows a foal’s skull with lines to the milk premolar, milk canine, and milk incisor. I especially enjoyed the interesting horse facts located toward the back of the book. Who knew that a herd of horses is actually led by a female horse? This book contains a rich bank of easy-to-read information, which is essentially why I enjoyed it. Clutton-Brock, Juliet. Eyewitness: Horse. London: DK Publishing, Inc., 2004. This is a book that covers all aspects related to horses. It goes into the types of breeds, the history of horses used in battle and for work. It had many pictures and labels for the various things that are related to horses. It also teaches about other animals like zebras and donkeys andhow they are related to horses. This is an excellent resourse for a research report on horses. It would also be great for horse lovers to read. The text is a little advanced and is best for older children. but the pictures will be inviting to younger children. Age Group: 8-12 years.

Am I just talking about the publisher and not the book? Well, indeed the book fits the series and I'm thinking of other illustrated horse encyclopedias when I make my comparisons. I love most horse books and they share a lot of subject matter, so often impressions come down to how the book was formatted.
Also, like any Eyewitness book, Horse covers the broadest spectrum of the subject. So what's not in other horse books? Usually not archaeology, the role in the industrial transition, and other history that isn't sport, recreation, or breed oriented.
And somehow it all condenses into a product that doesn't read as childish or particularly dumbed down. You finish reading this feeling as accomplished as a longer book, and probably more so because you enjoyed this one more. ( )
