My Pony

Beautiful illustrations and nice story too. Little girl in the story longs for a horse. Gets one in her dreams. Author's own childhood desire for a horse was the inspiration for her artistic talent at drawing horses. She states that she now owns horses and tries to ride every day. Inspiring message for horse lovers. Never give up on dreams!

beautiful, beautiful art. bought this as a gift for two little girls who love to draw horses. The story is also a wonderful life lesson. A stunning example of how attitude in life makes such a difference. The girl in the story wants a pony more than anything but it just isn't possible. Even as she continues to ask, and to hope, she accepts the limitations (the cost, the care and the room a pony would take) and enjoys fantasy adventures with an imaginary pony. Sometimes dreaming and planning can be as much or more fun than the actual experience because the dream is without the effort and the expense of acquiring and maintaining.

Beautifully written and illustrated!

This book was great for my 4 year old granddaughter. She's allergic to horses but absolutely loves them! Gave her something to dream about and use her imagination. Great book with beautiful illustrations.

A great book for little girls that love horses. What a sweet story and imagination!

I'm always on the lookout for the perfect book for my grandchildren. I ordered this one sight unseen for a six-year-old granddaughter who loves horses and doing art. When it arrived, I couldn't have been more pleased. Susan Jeffers tells the story of a little girl and her dream horse, Silver, and their many wonderful adventures. The girl's imagined horse becomes real through the her artwork. Just like my granddaughter. The author's note at the end explains that this is really what happened in her own childhood and was the beginning of her pursuits as an adult. Both Jeffers' text and illustations are beautiful. It is the perfect book. My granddaughter is going to love it.

Very cute pictures and decent story. I do like how the characters desire for wanting a real pony ended with being content with her imaginative pony for now. But I feel like it does blame on the parents (too much money/ no where to put it) other than simply saying maybe when you’re older.

This children's story is beautiful! In every sense of the word! The gentle wording, the endearing art and the genuine spirit of this work is magical and beautiful. With just one sentence at the end and so much longing in the art that I was moved to almost a whisper when I read it to my little girl, a reluctant reader. To my surprise, at bedtime, she called her daddy to her to read him this story...it us that endearing, engaging and inspiring. True beauty always is! Buy this book for the little horse lover in your life. You will be so glad u did. Beautiful!

Nice book, beautiful story...full of life. My kingdom for a horse. I was the same when I was a Kid.

Excellent book 📚👍🏻

The book is simply great. Amazing illustrations and the quality of the print is really good.

Beautiful story, easy to follow and get engaged in reading.

This book is all about the pictures of horses, though the story is one my daughter loves too; she is 5 and reads this to herself all the time, but with long pauses between reading each page as she gazes at the horses dreamily. This book is a favourite now. English mums, like me, won't like the MOMs but my daughter thinks that's funny so I guess that's ok then.…!
