An informative series that provides, in a concise format, better understanding of animals and their habitats. Fascinating in its diversity, the natural world comes to life on the pages of these spec tacularly illustrated volumes.
Paul Sterry has written and illustrated more than 50 books. Trained as a zoologist, Paul has been a wildlife photographer for over 20 years and regularly undertakes research expeditions.
This book is from the “Portraits of the Animal World” series from Smithmark Publishing. I have read four books from this series so far and it is the only one that has disappointed me. There is really very little here about the personality or behavior of horses. I did not get the feel that the writer is a horse rider, but that this book was merely written from an academic view. The book is basically a breed by breed view of the horse family. The book is beautifully illustrated.
