I would use this book in my classroom when we are doing a science unit on animal classification. This book does a great job of showing how horses are classified scientifically. Most kids are interested in horses, but they don't know a lot about the different breeds and sizes like they do domesticated animals like cats and dogs. This book does a good job at showing the diversity of one species in the animal kingdom. After reading this book, I would have my students pick one breed of horse and do a glogster on what they learned about them from web searches. This book is a great way of introducing non-fiction literature in an non-intimidating way to young students.

Non-fiction Horses: Smithsonian Handbook By:Elwyn Hartley Edwards
This non-fictional book is done in an informational style format. It tells the reader everything they need to know about equine. It starts out by introducing relatives to the horse like donkeys, mules, and zebras, then goes into the breeds of horses. This book is great for a child who is interested in horses, but has no science background knowledge on them. It has great pictures and supports to help a chid read through the book with little frustration. It also uses language that is appropriate for an upper elementary student to understand.
