Ted and Betsy travel to Mongolia for the annual Naadam (NAH-dum), a Mongolian national summer festival featuring horse racing events (as well as archery and wrestling, but horses are the focus here). They travel with a guide and a driver, and experience the hospitality on the steppe as they visit and learn from the horse trainers. The illustrations are predominantly realistic watercolors, but there are small, cartoon-style illustrations as well (somewhat reminiscent of William Steig's style).

Front matter includes a note from the author/illustrators and a map; back matter includes "Ger Facts," "Other Mongolia Facts," and a comprehensive glossary and pronunciation guide.… (altro)
