"See How They Grow: FOAL" by Gordon Clayton

Title: "See How They Grow: FOAL"
Author: Gordon Clayton
Illustrator: Jane Cradock-Watson
Genre: Informational
Grade level: Pre-K
Summary: The book describes and depicts the stages of a baby horse into maturity. The book relates the growth process of foals to humans in that the foal "cuddles" close to his mother, and how "friends come to play in the field" and so forth. The pictures are clear and focus on the act of the foal. I recommend this book for learning about baby horses.
Characters: The characters consisted of the foal, mother horse, and another foal. The foals took on human-like characteristics of children.
