Inside Out Horse: The Inside Story on the Animal That's Born to Run! (Inside Out)

by David George Gordon

Calling all equestrians and horse enthusiasts! Inside Out: Horse gives you an exclusive look at the many exciting parts of the horse, from the powerful muscles that create its gallop, to the special stomach that helps digest more than twenty pounds of grass a day. Alongside beautiful illustrations and photographs, an interactive die-cut model reveals the different systems of the horse.

Horses have been by the sides of humans for centuries, helping carry, pull, and power our world. In Inside Out: Horse, take a journey through this majestic animal, learning how horses are born to run, what makes their special horse sense, and why their skeletons are different from ours. Be amazed by the intricate leg bones, marvel at the size of the horse's heart, and discover what else is inside the horse's body. ​

You'll find all the intriguing differences between humans and horses—and a bunch of things that are the same.

The Inside Out series also includes: Inside Out: Human Body, Inside Out: Shark, Inside Out: T-Rex, Inside Out: Mummy, Inside Out: Medieval Castle, and Inside Out: Pirate Ship.

Originally published on my blog: Nonstop Reader.

Inside Out: Horse is a new book in the Inside Out series of cutaway books for kids. Due out 15th Sept from Quarto on their becker&mayer! kids imprint, it's 16 pages and will be available in hardcover/boardbook format.

This is an interesting fact-filled book about horses based on real anatomy and physiology. The cutaway pictures show horses from the outside inward with each successive layer peeled away to show the interior features very much like "the visible human/frog/cat/pig" type dissection peel-away diagrams. The graphics are very well designed and detailed. The text, which is placed in highlighted sidebars on each page, is well written and understandable. The art is detailed and well rendered.

This would make a great gift for a young biology fan, or library (school or public) use. I noticed new details each time I looked at the interior pages. My educational background is heavy on biology and life sciences and I thought this small book was very very cool.

Four stars.
