The children's book, What Does a Police Horse Do? is a very well-done book featuring both two and four-legged officers of the Lancaster, Pennsylvania Mounted Police Department…Each page presents a new, interesting tidbit about the life of a police horse…the photos are very well done and show what it is like throughout a day in Liam's life. I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in horses or police officers. I think it would be beneficial for classroom use as well to share with small children. - The Old Schoolhouse Magazine

Ellen F. Feld’s picture book story, What Does A Police Horse Do?, is both interesting and informative.

Ellen Feld offers an equine component for children who love law enforcement. She introduces us to Liam, a police horse in Lancaster, PA. John Cebula contributes wonderfully depicted photography paired with simple language and an interesting narrative. We can’t wait to see what Feld will publish next! - The Horse’s Maine & NH

This is a very well written, easy to read (for my child with dyslexia) and illuminative children’s book. I was pleasantly surprised with the charming photographs of Liam the police horse. This is a fun, quick-paced creative nonfiction that will not disappoint. It’s a fun book to share with a special child in your life. - Amazon Review

This book is highly recommended for all. It is written for children, but every one, whether young or adult will enjoy it. A nice glimpse into the life of a Police Horse, it's Officer and it's caregivers. - Amazon Review

It’s encouraging to see that author Ellen F. Feld and photographer John Cebula have created a new book meant for very early readers that taps into the natural appeal of horses…even better, her recently released volume, What Does A Police Horse Do?, focuses on a public figure…the mounted officer. This is a fine book for parents to share with their beginning readers as kids sound out simple words that Mom or Dad reads to them while they look at the fine photographs of Liam and Eric going through getting ready and patrolling. - PonyPals Magazine

Not living in an area where police horses are utilized, this information was fascinating. In your mind you understand that police horses are a good thing in a community, but it is entirely different to 'see' them in their workplace--which is what this book conveys.  The easy-to-read print and message along with the remarkable pictures brings this career into focus for readers.  Also the camaraderie between the police horses and the K-9 units is an advantageous perk of having these animals working in the same department The time the author and illustrator have taken to publish this amazing publication shows on every page.  If little ones are a part of your life, this book would make a wonderful bedtime story. - Laura H., AuthorsDen
