Summary "A Horse Book" by Mary Tourtel is a children's illustrated publication written in the early 20th century. This book is part of "The Dumpy Books for Children" series and serves as an educational guide about horses, focusing on their behaviors, characteristics, and roles in human society. It employs engaging poetry and illustrations to captivate young readers while imparting knowledge about these noble animals. In "A Horse Book," readers are introduced to various aspects of horse life through a series of whimsical poems. Each poem explores different themes such as playfulness, training, intelligence, and service, offering insights into the horse's experiences and interactions. The book juxtaposes the horse's qualities—like cleverness, patience, and loyalty—with human behaviors, making it relatable for children. Through the tales of playful foals, diligent workhorses, and even a racing friendship between a horse and a cat, Tourtel crafts a charming depiction of equine life that entertains and educates young audiences about the value and characteristics of horses.
