*spoilers!*
This was another wonderful Animal Ark book! This one was especially awesome, because it involved my favorite animal: horses!
I have lived in the United States all my life, never traveled outside of North America, and sometimes I forget that these books take place so far away... So it was really interesting and fun to read about American cowboys moving to Yorkshire and all the big and little differences they brought... "American" accents, riding Western style (such a big deal for Mandy, yet it's the only way *I* have ever ridden!) etc etc. And Mandy learning about mustangs was really cool.
Of course I bawled my eyes out when Couger got so sick so fast. I also really liked the substory about the hand-reared lambs; Just like show more Mandy, I felt furious and scared when the kids insisted they were taking care of the lambs just fine, when it was very obvious the lambs were in distress. But my heart went out to those kids when they realized what serious mistakes they had made.
Overall, a very very WONDERFUL book! Highly recommended (and not just for kids!). show less
