You can count on horse-crazy kids to be doing something
horse-related, thinking about something horse-related, or planning
something horse-related 24 hours a day, seven days a week. That's
why Cindy A. Littlefield created the Kids' Book of Horse Games
& Puzzles. If kids are going to spend their time horsing
around, they might as well jump-start their creativity and boost
their problem-solving skills at the same time.
The book is divided into five sections: Word Play, Picture Puzzles,
Drawing, Fun and Games, and Brain Teasers. (All the answers are
included.)
Take the "Horse and Pony Stall of Fame" challenge by matching up
famous equines with their human or television character companions.
Snuffle through the "Hungry as a Horse" quiz and see if you can
find the names of 14 things horses like to eat hidden in a block of
letters. Then break out your best drawing pencils and learn how to
draw a horse's portrait in six easy steps.
Fun, horsey cartoons and illustrations adorn every page. And
scattered throughout the book are horse riddles, bits of horse
trivia, and quotes about horses.
Here, at last, is the perfect book for kids who love puzzles almost
as much as they love horses.
