The Princess and the Pony Paperback – 1 Aug. 2015

Fun to read

I love this story. The pony illustrations are fabulous and well observed (my daughter's favourite pony when she went to classes was called Smasher - an amiable beast, he farted at every step). She always wanted a horse but at Uni fell in love with Exmoor ponies - way more character than might be expected in such small packages. I'm sure she will enjoy this with her own family. My other daughter was a big fan of Megara in the Disney Hercules movie and somehow this conveys the same spirit. The illustration of the "battle" merits close examination - very witty and clever. Highly recommended for all ages. Kate Beaton's on-line cartoons are worth a look - a very clever lady.

Funny, cute, against the odds story with a good dollop of heart and hilarious drawings

Bought for several parents I know, they all love it. Some babbies too small to give opinions yet, but the three year old that got it really enjoyed checking out the details in the pictures and she especially loved the ponies in jumpers at the end!

i bought this for my daughter, who is 4, and she loves it. I also like the story very much and enjoy reading it to her at bedtime. Marvellous.

Im not sure who was more entertained, us or the kids. They all loved it, we were laughing too and the message it sends is positive and heart warming. Really would reccomend.

Bought because the illustrations don’t include a white blond blue eyed little girl. It’s important to represent all children. We loved the story too.

Lovely illustrations and cute story!

One of my 5 year olds favorite books. She thinks it’s hilarious!

Libricino simpatico, sfogliato per la prima volta qualche anno fa in America. Piacevole da avere e da sfogliare ogni tanto, ha dei disegni simpatici e una storia divertente.

Impresionante, buen cuento vale la pena tenerlo en inglés ta to para que los pequeños aprendan como para leerlo con ellos.Las ilustraciones son fuera de serie

Kate Beaton ist eine meiner Lieblings-Comiczeichnerinnen. Geschichte- und Literatur-Fans werden ihren Webcomic "Hark, a Vagrant!" lieben. Aber ihr "fat pony" ("it's not a pig!!") ist einfach einer der genialsten Charaktere. Princess and the Pony würde ich uneingeschränkt empfehlen, sowohl für Kinder als auch für Erwachsene :-)

Conheço o material da Kate Beaton de muito tempo. Seu webcomic, Hark! A Vagrant!, tem um humor singular e um tema incomum: figuras históricas, famosas ou obscuras. Em Princess and the Pony, ela escreve uma história sobre uma Xena miniatura e seu pônei destrambelhado e como elas acabam salvando o dia. A edição é enorme, e linda. Infelizmente em inglês, acaba sendo um presente apenas para crianças mais cultas (embora as ilustrações cativariam crianças de qualquer idade). Comprei para dar como presente para uma mulher adulta, mas que ainda sabe curtir a doçura da vida, e recomendo para qualquer pessoa assim.
