Ponyella by Laura Numeroff & Nate Evans


Ponyella was at one time the prettiest pony on her farm. Now a new owner has arrived and brought two mean "stepmares". Ponyella now has to do all the chores and her mane is now a tangled, dirty mess. Sound familiar yet? Ponyella wants to show off her jumps at the Tippington 25th Annual Grand Royal Pony Championship but will she be able to get away from her chores to show off her jumping skills?

I love when authors retell stories...it is always so interesting to see how they incorporate the different elements of the story. Numeroff is best known for her "If you give a..." and I think this is another keeper that even boys will enjoy...Adam liked it!!
