A Must for the Young Rider
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
I purchased this book for my seven-year-old niece who rides for Christmas. In scanning it, I thought it was just the thing for a young girl very interested in horses. Had I more time I might have given it a read myself.

The Birthday Pony By Gillian The Birthday Pony by Jessie Haas is about a horse being born the same day as a little girl! The birthday ponies theme is helping because the little girl Jane and Grandma Aggie helped Popcorn` s mother from the woods. I think the message is never give up you should never give up gust like when the girl gave up on taking care of popcorn. In this storey Popcorn changes a lot because everyone changes his life when Jane takes care of him. Letting Popcorn go is a symbol I think this because Jane has to let Popcorn and Sweatpea go. The problem is Jane is to far away to ride horses and the solution is her father got a new job a few blocks away. Now Jane can ride the horses. Before I read the Birthday Pony I thought no one could take care of a wild pony but now that I have read it my schema has change and I know that people can even take care of 2 ponies. I recommend this book for kids that ride horses or have a horse or love horse because it is all about loving horses.
I'm obsessed with this book!

I love Birthday Pony! It's a good book for horse lovers! It's about horses! The book gives you tips like sit deep in the saddle. You could use that for when you ride a horse! It's pretty easy for beginners to read! Especially girls in second grade would like this book. I think most girls would like this book if they like horses! By Erin, age 7
neat horse story

Jane is the main character in the book. Her grandmother buys a pony that she had sold years ago and gives it to Jane for her birthday. The horse is named Popcorn and he's trouble. Jane has to send him to a camp to get trained so that she can ride him. Meanwhile Jane takes riding lessons to become a better rider. The horse learns to take commands and Jane learns to give them well. The are together again and even win a ribbon in a horse show. The book has large print text. This is good for young readers. I would recommend this book to girls who are interested in horses. Girls ages 7-10 will relate to the main character Jane well.
