This is the third book Ruepp wrote about Anna and her Icelandic Pony, Prince. The first two were called Winter Pony and Runaway Pony. This time the title has a double meaning, since Anna gets a boyfriend of sorts in this book.
Prince, an unusual liver chestnut with a silvery-white mane and tail, is now four years old and is finally being trained to ride. I do not know if waiting so long is normal in Iceland. Horses and ponies are usually broken when they are yearlings or two years old, although it shouldn't be done until the knees are X-rayed to show if they are closed, or strong enough to take a rider.
Yeah, it's a predictable book, especially if you've read the previous two books. As always, the art is much better than the story. Like in the last book, Anna directly looks at the reader in the first painting, inviting the reader along. There are also paintings of other critters found in Iceland, such as sheep, swans and sheep.
Just makes you want to move to Iceland.
All three of the books are at the Internet Archive ... sometimes.
