"Appaloosa to Zebra: Horses in Rhyme from A to Z" is a collection of poems that combines horseplay with wordplay! These verses introduce young readers to various aspects of horses and horsemanship, with a focus on the features of horses that a kid is likely to experience firsthand when they meet a horse: its whiskery, velvety nose, its flicking ears, its lashing tail. Horses also "speak" for themselves in many of the rhymes, expressing their opinions on topics ranging from scrumptious oats and glorious gallops to nosy vets, bucking, and kicking! Breeds such as the Clydesdale, the Quarter Horse, and the Icelandic Horse take the stage, too, and even the donkey, the mule, and the legendary unicorn have a say.
