Thundering Hooves

Kingfisher collections are always good value and worth a place in the teacher's stock, book boxes and libraries. The 'read-everything-about-horses' children have a great many favourites and, with more than half the collection given over to extracts, this is probably a good lead-in to the books themselves. The potential readership should be wider than horse-fans, though, as there's a lot of action and adventure and a range which takes in Dick Francis and Boxer from Animal Farm.
