Perfect for every seven year old girl that is on love with horses. This book was just a big above my children, they had no interest in it and I received this book to review right before we found out our house sold and all you know what broke loose. So, this was also on my forgotten stack.
It is a wonderful book and my sister; still in love with horses and wants one of her own, would love this book: I also think that as Zoe gets older she’s going to start liking this book more
It is cute because it is coming from the horse. You’re right there in the mind of the horse on the range. My daughter and son are starting to make animal sounds all the time and they are crawling around the new house pretending to be animals. So it’s cute to see this come out of them.
Hot on the Range is the first children’s book by R. D. Jentsch and was illustrated by David C. Bryant. The author is an admitted horse-lover herself and owns a ranch with fourteen horses – each with its own unique personality and challenges. The book was published in November of 2008 by BookSurge Publishing and is 36 pages (paperback edition).
Book Description:
The tale begins with two horses seeking shelter from the sweltering Texas sun. Willie, a laid back palomino ambles over to a shady spot under a tree, while Chester a paint horse, looks under rocks and every other corner of the pasture to find relief. From rolling in the mud to smelling cactus flowers, it will be Chester’s own master who will save the day with a cool stream of icy water from the outdoor spigot. Recommended for an award in children’s literary fiction, this book is loosely based on the behavior of two real horses and proves to be a whole lot of summer fun for the whole family.
Very cute, I know a few horse lovers who would really like this!
