Album of horses Review
Okay, if you are looking for a book that just has facts, no history about the breed, nothing interesting to it then don't get this book. If you are looking for some breed history and a fun read with that classic touch of Marguerite Henery then this is great. I still love reading it over and over. Henery doesn't write boring books about facts, she writes stories about horses, I have no idea why people expect this to be any different. If you want a book strictly about facts then I recommend Horses by Smithsonian Handbooks, if you want stories about breeds and history get this one.

I was astonished to see this book for sale at a trendy hardware store in Black Mountain, NC this weekend. My sister, who was always a horse freak, is getting it for her 57th birthday. She will remember it from childhood. After purchasing I couldn't wait to open it and relive memories. The illustrations came bounding back in all their joy. Reading the text (admittedly for the first time) I actually teared up. This is such a wholesome generously spirited throwback -- you'll love it if you hanker for a simpler time of love and admiration for one of God's most beautiful creatures.

I picked up ALBUM OF HORSES at a school book fair in the fifth grade and have since read this book numerous times. There is detailed information about breeds and the history of horses. The illustrations are gorgeous and this is a great book to add to any horse fan's collection.

I had owned this book when I was a kid. I loved it because it gave you so much information about the different breeds of horses and the pictures were wonderful for me to look at back then. I bought this book because I don't know what happened to the original and it made me sad. Out of nostalgia for the past experience I had when I had the book as a kid, as an adult, I wanted the book back. I was so thankful that it was possible to even get a copy because I know it is an older book. Even though the reading is not geared for an adult I still find the book heart-warming to own.
