I bought this book for my kindergartener. She loves horses. She is enjoying having this book read to her, but it won't be long and she will be able to read it herself. The pictures are very colorful. My preschooler also loves the book.

My daughter is learning to read. She loves horses, pink things, and Barbies. This book was perfect for a small girl that loves horses, pink things, and Barbie.

Ordered for my niece to go with her new Barbie horse for Christmas. she loved it all. She is 5 years old.

Any thing and anyway you can get your child to read is a big plus ! I also bought the horse and doll set and it helps to read and let them also interact the story over with the doll and horse ! I just love this !

Children really dislike the simple word pattern books they are provided at school and this causes them to think they don't like reading. for young girls, the Barbie emerging reader books will turn this around. Many sight words, a few challenging words, good repetition of words throughout the story and wonderful pictures. And what could be better than for young girls than a story about horses and always a happy ending. Buy the series and watch your child's reading blossom.

I have three girls and am constantly looking for books they will enjoy but has a message I want them to read. Barbie books generally fit the bill.

Barbie: Horse Show Champ is no exception. The language in this story is vey simple (more simple than other Step Into Reading Barbie books). Barbie works hard and participates in a competition. Tawny (the horse), knocks over one of the bars and Barbie doesn't get first prize. BUT she is proud of herself and of Tawny.

Thank you, Matel!

The book is easy for beginner readers. I also liked the fact that the story had Tawny come in third place rather than win the race. It's refreshing to find a book where it is ok to not be first!

I bought this as a Christmas gift to go along with the Barbie and Tawny horse set I purchased for my 6 year old who is really enjoying reading on her own.

I got it for my daughter in kindergarten. She enjoyed being able to read it and liked the story.
