Overall, the book is fairly basic! I like how simple it is: it focuses on words and high quality pictures. The language used is very simple, and vocab is bolded (which is nice). The book would work well for solo reading time of younger kids, a read aloud is less likely.
A nice, short little book for children about what miniature horses are, and how they are the same and different from regular horses. I've never actually thought of minis as "weird pets", but I guess to some people they might be. There is a lot of information covered in a basic, simple way in this book: information about minis like normal height and weight, they need shelter and room to run around just like regular horses, some people teach them to jump over obstacles or show them in events, show more etc. There are beautiful photographs of minis throughout the book, some with kids or adults but others just alone or with another mini. show less
“Flowers” by Lynn M. Stone, is a great introduction to plant biology for children of about the age of 4 to 8. The text is very simple and straight to the point, and it pairs really well with the exquisite, bright photography of flowers and their pollinators, which is the focus of the book. “Flowers” explains why people love flowers, the reasons why they’re important, the different parts of the flower and the process of pollination. There’s also a useful glossary at the end of the show more book that consists of a small picture, pronunciation and definition of some of the key terms “Flowers” covers. This is definitely a worthwhile resource, particularly in an academic setting. show less
This book might be a little advanced for younger children, with a good paragraph on each page, but for a precocious child it would be useful for answering questions. Photographs taken in the Antarctic. Recommended for a more mature 5-year-old, or to show children what real animals in snow zones look like.
