1: History of breeds
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.

2: Album of Horses by Marguerite Henry
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.

3: Not what I expected
When I bought this book, it looked pretty good and since it had more than a hundred pages, i thought i would enjoy it but i didnt.
This book starts of with a story of a horse, then goes into some boring history. You dont get very many good facts from this book, so if you are looking for a book that has a lot of facts about horses in it, dont buy this one!

4: Wonder ful Way To Learn About Breeds Of Horses!
I haven't read the new edition, but I have an old, 1960s hardcover from an antique store and it is beautiful! Henry's breed descriptions turn the history of a horse into a captivating story. Best of all, it is all factual! Dennis's amazing horse pictures illuminate the book and give it a charming touch. Being a devoted Appie lover and owner, I was particularly fond of the chapter on the Appaloosa! All the stories and accompanying artwork peices are spectacular, though, and it is my opinion that every junior rider worth her salt should have a copy of this book on their shelf.
