'Barbie-The Best' is the fifth book in the ZC Horses Series. This series of children's books has colorful, easy-reading material for any level of reader. These true stories center around the author's experiences growing up on a ranch and raising and training her horses. Their goal is to allow the reader to experience ranch life in western America. These non-fiction books are enjoyed by readers from two to eighty-two. Along with being high interest/low vocab, they are ESL books. The first three books, 'Chick-The Beginning', 'Chick-The Saddle Horse', and 'Chick-The Mom' center around the matriarch in this line of horses. The rest of the titles in this series (13 so far) go into Chick's offspring and friends. The book 'Barbie-The Best' centers around Chick's second baby, Barbie. Barbie is a wonderful horse that has many interesting stories to tell and became the author's best friend. The first chapter of the book talks about the author's great-grandfather leaving Ireland as a young boy and ending up as a rancher in Montana.
