Horse Crazy!
Alison Lester
- Reading
- Try one story at a time, then invite your reader to choose which adventure to continue with. The four named stories make it easy to pause between episodes.
- Themes
- Friendship: Bonnie and Sam are best friends who both love horses. Their companionship is presented positively as part of the stories' appeal.
- Care for horses: The stories centre on horses; Sam is said to know when they need a drink, a hug or a run in the paddock. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- The stories include a brumby, a circus pony, a race and saving Mr Pinto. How these situations unfold is not clear, so check in if your reader is sensitive to animal peril.
