✦ Synopsis

My 8-year old daughter loves horses and was begging for this book. The pictures are very heplfull in explaining all different types of horses as vell as their behavior. There is a large poster and a CD included. My daughter is not a coputer person so I cannot give you much info on the CD. The book is very informative and appropriate for children.
