About this title

Review

Starting Riding is an information-packed book that is perfect for children interested in horses and riding. Colourful illustrations and photographs, and simple, clear text, take readers through the rudimentaries of looking after and riding a horse.

Educationally, Starting Riding can also be used for home learning, to support Key Stage One English reading skills. The book is a great way of encouraging youngsters who are interested in horses to read different kinds of books, such as information books, therefore increasing their interest in reading generally. (5 to 11 years) --Amanda York
