About Horse Crazy!: 1,001 Fun Facts, Craft
Product Description Feed your child’s equine muse. This treasure chest of activities, games, and projects encourages kids ages 8 and up to express their passion for horses through a wide range of creative outlets. Jessi Haas offers hundreds of fun and innovative ideas that will inspire children to engage in horse-based writing, photography, crafts, and more. Along with plenty of fascinating trivia and breed profiles, Haas provides suggestions for horse-themed books and movies kids won’t want to miss. Take horse obsession beyond the barn! From Booklist Horse-crazy kids will delight in this packed paperback compendium of projects, tips, lore, and lists. Haas, whose diverse books for youth include horse-themed poetry and fiction, draws on her vast equine experience in pages that cover riding advice, horse breeds, grooming techniques, books and movies about life in the saddle, and more. Crafts comprise a large portion of the book, and the suggested projects range from the large-scale, such as a crocheted halter, to simpler efforts, such as a decoupage treasure box. Also included are helpful exercises for drawing horses that are sure to improve young fans’ ubiquitous notebook-margin sketches. The projects are outlined in detailed language (including safety warnings) and sketches that cover each step of construction, making it easy for kids to follow along; although most young people will still want an adult’s assistance. The format, with its pink gingham page borders and drawings of mostly female figures, yells “girl,” but the wealth of information and activities may find an audience with serious riders of both genders.
