Riding a Horse!
Frances loves horses, but has never ridden one. Today, she will. Her friend, Mae, who has horses, has invited her over.
But Frances isn’t prepared for what it is like when dreams of horses clash with reality. There are many things she wasn’t expecting such as their poop needs to be shoveled, or that horses might kick you if you aren’t careful.
Frances finds herself in hilarious situations with the horses. The illustrations, that are also done by the author, make the story even funnier.
After everything that happens with Frances and the horses, she has misgivings about getting on one.
This is a funny story, but you will also learn a lot about horses: how they act, their care, and how to ride them.
This five-star picture book will be enjoyed by children ages three through eight-years-old.
