How To Convince Your Parents You Can Care for a Pet Horse (Robbie Readers) (Robbie Readers)

By O'Neal, Claire

Publishers Summary:
A new twist on the old pet care books! These delightful books will help beginning readers reach informed decisions as to whether an animal would make an acceptable pet. Not all the animals covered in the series are suitable for every family. Each title provides simplified technical info about the species, including how the animal lives in the wild, how big it will get, and how long it lives. It also provides details on care of the pet, such as space requirements, how and what to feed it, health care, and handling. Once readers understand whether the animal would make a good pet, they are prepared to try to convince their parents they can . . . care for the pet. People have been drawn to horses throughout history, and it s easy to see why. Horses are strong, graceful, and intelligent animals. They enjoy attention and company from people, and they will bond strongly with their owners. Climb on the back of one and go for a ride, and your life will be forever different. But owning a horse doesn t just change your life, it becomes your life. Your horse will depend on you for everything food, water, exercise, and attention. And you can t exactly keep one in your living room. A horse is a huge responsibility, with equally huge rewards. Are you up for the challenge? And if you believe you are, can you convince your parents that you can care for a pet horse?
