Panda - a Guide Horse for Ann with Photographs by Neil Soderstrom-A miniature horse acts as a guide for her blind owner.
Most children have seen Seeing Eye dogs, but almost none have come in contact with a guide horse. Only a few such horses have been trained and are working. That's part of what makes this photo-essay so fascinating; it's a new topic for children's nonfiction. It's also very well done, showcasing how Panda helps her owner and how the miniature horse was originally trained. The oversize book features many glossy, well-structured photographs that bring children right into the life of a blind woman, Ann Edie, and it explains the many ways that Panda helps Ann--crossing streets, going shopping, riding on trains. The book moves back in time, chronicling Panda's training. Ann and her friend Alex, a horse trainer, heard about the first minihorse trained as a guide; since Ann's longtime guide dog had recently died, the women decided to see if they could train a guide horse, whose life span would be years longer than a dog's. The heartwarming, informative book shows the happy results. Several Web sites and a short bibliography are appended.
