Book overview
My Horse Has Five Hearts is a book that teaches young children a wonderful lesson on the function of the horses hoof - and how it acts like a heart. The book shares a perspective from the child and the horse that your children and grandchildren, in fact, all children especially those 8-12 will love reading. This delightful scientific lesson will teach kids about the parts of the hoof, inside and out, the circulatory system, the various shapes a horse's hoof can take on, and how important the horse vet and shoer can be. Beautifully illustrated by Rusty Fletcher, and enjoyably written by a mother and daughter who know how important and pivotal the horse has become in our society. The book takes on a topic that is not taught to many children and yet is so desperately needed thanks to the young co-author Laken, age 10. This colorful and insightful explanation of how the circulatory system in the horse is only one-way when it gets to the legs, and counts on the pumping action of the horse hoof to help it back up the leg - is a treasured learning that goes a long way to helping the horse be a healthy companion.
