Im Galopp ins Abenteuer

Magic Pony Carousel #3

by Poppy Shire

Am Rande des Jahrmarktes steht das altmodische Pony-Karussell. Die Musik beginnt zu spielen, das Karussell dreht sich, und schon fliegst du mit deinem Pony in eine andere Welt...

Laura liebt den Wilden Westen über alles. Kein Wunder, dass sie am liebsten eine Runde auf dem hübschen Cowboypony drehen würde – und es klappt, auf ihrem Fahrschein steht “Stern”! Noch ahnt sie nicht, dass der Schecke sie wenige Augenblicke später mitten durch die wilde Prairie tragen wird, großen Abenteuern entgegen...

My favorite part is when Laura lasso'd a calf and saved it from drowning in a fast flowing river. Star is the pony that chose Laura. - 6 years old

My 3.5 year old daughter picked this out at the library. While she sat through it all, there really weren't enough illustrations to hold her interest. Her 5.5 year old brother understood and followed the story best.

I do think this would be a really fun series for a young girl who loves horses to read, either as an independent early reader or as a read aloud with mom or dad. The idea is that there is a magic carousel that transports riders to a different place and time while they enjoy an adventure with the horse (star was a wild west cowgirl horse, so that was the adventure for this book). We did not miss anything by starting with book 3. The story follows a simple conflict resolution plot line and would work well for teaching early literacy concepts.
