Synopsis

Award-winning author Tanya Landman brings a fresh perspective to horse-riding stories with a heart-warming new series about friendship and dreaming big. Meg treasures every moment that she gets to spend riding, and she has always longed for a pony of her own. She knows Mum and Dad can’t afford a pony – they can’t even afford her weekly riding lessons any more. But on the morning of her tenth birthday, Meg looks out the window to an unbelievable sight … a pony standing in the front garden. Have all of Meg’s wishes come true?

My Review

This is such a beautiful short chapter book. My daughter read this book to me and she loved it. She especially loved the pictures and kept showing me every one of them saying wow look at this one. It was a lreally lovely and heartwarming tale. I think that's its really important to spend time with your child reading everyday listening to them read creates that wonderful special bond and this is a perfect book for that. I loved how it shows that parents sometimes struggle for money for riding lessons and that the Meg was very understanding and because of this attitude good things came her way. It showed the brilliant connection between horse and child. This is a perfect book for your child who is just transferring from picture books to chapter books. I can't recommend this book enough its so beautiful and such a wonderful story. Many thanks to the author and publishers for bringing this fantastic book to life. Bringing warmth and happiness to many children.
