“…a highly personable book. Together the Demuths convey the natural fears of a country horse in the noisy, crowded city… Consistently interesting, precisely informative, and warmly human, this is just enough above the ordinary that it an be read aloud to younger children as suitably as it can be read by older ones for themselves.”

What early childhood social studies needs is a fresh look at community helpers. City horse, I am happy to report, is a step in the right direction. …book might be used most effectively when read to the children.

This book is written [and photographed]  beautifully.

In a fine blend of simple text and action filled, black and white photographs the Demuths describe the training and care of one of the horses…Hannon’s story will undoubtedly be an eye opener for many children.

The authors do an excellent job

CITY HORSE celebrates a magnificent anachronism in modern urban society—that special bond between a human and his horse. … Jack and Patricia Demuth’s fine documentary photography and perceptive observations have made their photo essay a fascinating experience for readers young and old.
