Horses Change Coats

Horses are amazing. One interesting thing about them is how they adapt to the weather. Through bright illustrations and lively rhyme, children discover how the hours of sunlight increase or decrease during the year to create the seasons. This change in the amount of daylight causes horses to grow thick hair to prepare for cold weather, or shed the heavy coat to be ready for the hot summer. Wanda Snow Porter depicts her knowledge and love of horses in this colorful, rhyming read-aloud, for ages 4 to 9.
