Why the Rowan the Horse Adventure Book Series is Unusual
Rowan the horse is about having fun, making the best out of unusual or odd situations and being able to express oneself.
Each book is designed to appeal to both boys and girls.
These books are very unusual because they are NOT about owning or controlling a horse, but simply enjoying the adventures of a horse who naturally is just being a horse.
Children will be able to relate to Rowans adventures because they are always dealing with unknown outcomes and what could be better than using “Horse Humor!” to segue into strange new experiences?
Rowan is truly a VERY funny horse.
The gentle humor, familiar pattern and rhythm in each book, ending sweetly with the image of Rowan falling asleep, helps create a sense of comfort and structure amidst chaos.
