Book Reviews of Hold on to Your Horses
Book Review: Beautiful Book
Summary: 4 Stars
Over the past year, we've read my son approximately sixteen thousand Spider-man, Transformer, Magic School Bus, Dr. Seuss, and Berenstain Bears books. Hold on to Your Horses is something different. In the author's words, "Hold on to Your Horses exists because my daughter needed a story that helped her visualize and control her impulsive ideas."
In that respect, the book works as much as a tool as a story. I suspect most parents will recognize Amy in the story, if not from their own children, then perhaps the child from down the street, or the classmate who gets a little too excited about things. One of the most poignant moments in the book is when Amy breaks down and asks, "Why am I always the problem?" For these children (and their parents and caretakers), Tayler's book provides a way to understand and start to control their impulsive behavior.
After a diet of superheroes and other action-heavy books, my son's attention wandered occasionally, but we finished the book to the end.
I should also mention that the artwork is gorgeous, with a very eye-catching style.
