Reading Level: Grades 1-2 Interest Level: Grades K – 3
Named for their ability to sprint a quarter mile, American quarter horses shine on and off the track! These popular horses also round up cattle and entertain at rodeos. In this title, young readers will learn all about the breed through leveled text and fun features that highlight coat colors, track distances, and more!
'The Saddle Up! Series introduces the reader to 6 different horses: American Paint Horses, American Quarter Horses, Appaloosa Horses, Arabian Horses, Clydesdale Horses and Thoroughbred Horses. The books are Blastoff Readers level 2 so they are recommended for grade 1-3. The text has varied sentences, increased text load and supportive text features. While the photos and colors will draw the reader in; the diagrams, maps, and charts will give the young reader the information that they are looking for. The books conclude with resources for additional information both at the library and on the web. This series is a good fit for children just learning to research. The books present the information in a manageable user-friendly way that sets the child up for success.', Pam Zoller, School Librarian, Olathe Public Schools
