I wanted to share a fun book you will find inside our Christmas Gift Guide 25: The Big Book of Horse Trivia for Kids: Fun Facts and Stories about Ponies, Horses, and the Equestrian Lifestyle written by the Author Bernadette Johnson (Author). I received a copy of the book for the review. Inside this post is my affiliate links. If you click on the links and make a purchase I will make a small percentage from the products you purchase.
Both Suzzie and Charlie like Horses. Suzzane would have loved having a Horse for a pet but not Charlie because there too much work he says. I agree with Suzzane who wanted a Paint I have to always go big or go home and would want a Clydesdale which are known as the Budweiser Horses. Would you want a Horse? If so what breed of Horse would you want and why?
I sat down this morning to browse through The Big Book of Horse Trivia for Kids: Fun Facts and Stories about Ponies, Horses, and the Equestrian Lifestyle and the fun facts and stories in the book that once I begin looking through I didn’t want to put the book down.
The Horse on the front of the book had me wanting to visit a Stable. Would you want to go with me? I love how the Author included a vocabulary guide which was a #teachingmoment for my family. The book is a chapter book which can be used in #Homeschooling.
My favorite part of the book was Chapter 9 You Can Lead A Horse To Water: Hose-Related sayings which took me back to my childhood. David liked Chapter 8 Horseplay, Arts, Entertainment, and Toys which Charlie also enjoyed.
In the back of the book is references to keep the learning going. There is even a bonus section A Horse of a Different Color: Bonus Horse Facts Charlie liked to use to stump David and I which Charlie did more times than I would like to count.
