Little Girls love horses as much as little boys want to grow up and be a fireman in a fire truck. Perhaps, this is why so many children’s and kids books feature these two venues. Indeed, if you are going to buy your child a book at or about the time they are actually able to read, then you need to buy them a book that will have meaning and one they will enjoy reading, as subject they care about and resonate with.
Easier said than done of course and let’s say you have a little girl in the second or third grade that is just starting to learn to read good enough to read an adult type book, but you realize you do not wish to overwhelm her.
You need to find a book that has 4-5 easy paragraphs per page, without too many big words, but not a children’s book that will seem stupid and not a paperback book with too heavy of a plot of other nonsense that you do not want your daughter to read yet.
In this case, I’d sure like to recommend a very good book to you for this purpose, the book is:
“Sable; ‘She was all the dog Tate ever wanted’ ” by Karen Hesse; Produced and Published by scholastic books; New York, NY; 1994. [illustrated by Marcia Sewall].
This is such a wonderful story about a girl and a horse and a horrible storm, but it has a delightful and excellent ending. It’s the perfect book for a little girl who is now able to start reading real books. Please consider this for your daughter.
