Freddie's Books
Emma Toomey's love of horses and integration of this with her job as a mounted police officer is an ideal way of encouraging children to take an interest in both of these areas.
Most children, when encountering a horse close up, have a natural fear because of their size, but Emma's approach here brings it down to the reader's and listener's level. The books are most suitable for ages 5-10 years but anyone with an interest in horses and the work of the Mounted Police will enjoy reading about Freddie's adventures.
