A Pony to Love

With just a little imagination and this appealing story, horse-loving girls and boys will be off on a magical ride, galloping from sea to mountains on the backs of their friendly, gentle ponies. So many adventures await: prancing on the beach, trotting through fields of flowers, and showing off in the Big Top, a grand parade, and the rodeo, where they'll win best of show. And, at every moment, the pretty pictures capture the warm affection between child and animal. There's no better proof that "with a pony to love, you can't go wrong."

I think this book might have given me a cavity, it's so sweet.

You know what's going to happen by the third page. The book is about two kids imagining that their flocked toy ponies are real. Does not explain why the girl has a bay pony toy and dreams of a chestnut (the cover pony). The boy is more loyal to his toy. He has a grey pony, and so fantasizes about a grey pony.

In real life, the kids would be crying by the end of their play, because they only have toys and not the real thing.

The art is pretty decent, if the poem itself was naff.
