Jeffers, Susan My Chincoteague Pony. PICTURE BOOK. Hyperion, 2008.
EL - ESSENTIAL
A little girl wants a pony of her own and raises the money for the Chincoteague auction. She doesn't have quite enough money and the ponies are all gone, except one is returned and strangers start handing her cash so that she can fulfill her dream. I read Marguerite Henry's Chincoteague books many years ago.
When I picked this picture book up, I had no idea that I would be so affected (tears in my eyes) by a pink book with glitter on the cover. But horsey girls and not so horsey gilrs all over the world will adore this story. The author's forward is also a must read, as well as her own letter from Ms. Henry.
