Why Can’t Horses Burp?

Book Synopsis

Why do horses wear shoes? How do horses ‘speak’? And why can’t horses burp? Answering twenty curious questions about the equine species, this book is a charming blend of zoology, history and popular culture that celebrates why horses have been such beloved companions for centuries. Featuring a myriad of different horse breeds, readers will discover what’s so unique about a horse’s body and its behaviour, and why they deserve to be well cared for.

Our Review Panel says...

Calling all horse lovers! Have you ever wondered why horses can’t burp? Why horses wear shoes? Whether horses and humans can be friends? Well look no further! This child-friendly, non-fiction text is an informative and fun way to learn everything you need to know about our lovable horsey friends.

Each double-page spread starts with an intriguing question about horses. From diet, exercise, breeds and winning Olympic medals, there is a breadth of information to interest any young equestrian-lover. The illustrations are bright and playful and are surrounded by short bursts of text, making it easy to read and enjoy.

I would highly recommend this information book for anyone who wants to become an equine expert, or any person, young or old, with a thirst for animal knowledge.
