A beautiful picture book about the magic of horses and the power of imagination by Caldecott Honoree and New York Times bestselling artist Susan Jeffers. I want a pony. I want a pony more than anything in the world. A little girl who longs for a pony draws pictures of a dappled mare she names Silver, then rides her through a magical countryside in her dreams. At the heart of Susan Jeffers's exquisite picture book lies the idea that in her imagination, a child can journey anywhere and do anything—even fly through the stars on her very own pony. Susan Jeffers effortlessly captures the grace and wonder of horses in this luminous picture book. Review: Perfect Book For Horse Lovers Of All Ages - Beautiful illustrations and nice story too. Little girl in the story longs for a horse. Gets one in her dreams. Author's own childhood desire for a horse was the inspiration for her artistic talent at drawing horses. She states that she now owns horses and tries to ride every day. Inspiring message for horse lovers. Never give up on dreams! Review: wonderful book - beautiful, beautiful art. bought this as a gift for two little girls who love to draw horses. The story is also a wonderful life lesson. A stunning example of how attitude in life makes such a difference. The girl in the story wants a pony more than anything but it just isn't possible. Even as she continues to ask, and to hope, she accepts the limitations (the cost, the care and the room a pony would take) and enjoys fantasy adventures with an imaginary pony. Sometimes dreaming and planning can be as much or more fun than the actual experience because the dream is without the effort and the expense of acquiring and maintaining.

Beautiful! Buy This Book!
This children's story is beautiful! In every sense of the word! The gentle wording, the endearing art and the genuine spirit of this work is magical and beautiful. With just one sentence at the end and so much longing in the art that I was moved to almost a whisper when I read it to my little girl, a reluctant reader. To my surprise, at bedtime, she called her daddy to her to read him this story...it us that endearing, engaging and inspiring. True beauty always is! Buy this book for the little horse lover in your life. You will be so glad u did. Beautiful! Buy this book! - reviewed by a 30+ year veteran elementary school teacher, mother, grandmother and former children's theater director

Great book
This book was great for my 4 year old granddaughter. She's allergic to horses but absolutely loves them! Gave her something to dream about and use her imagination. Great book with beautiful illustrations.

An okay book for young horse lovers
Very cute pictures and decent story. I do like how the characters desire for wanting a real pony ended with being content with her imaginative pony for now. But I feel like it does blame on the parents (too much money/ no where to put it) other than simply saying maybe when you’re older.

I'm a horse lover so what's not to like!
Beautiful illustrations well written and having been a young child who went from having a pony to owning a horse...well, this is a must have for me in my Children's book library and one all our horse lovers in my family like to read....and well written enough for those who aren't crazy about horses will find a good read. It does tend to appeal a bit more to the little girls 5--8 years of age.

Imaginative and engaging book.
My granddaughter adores this book and it is so easy to read for her. She is autistic and doesn’t easily engage with books but this really caught her imagination. Thank you!

Absolutely beautiful illustrations
This book is all about the pictures of horses, though the story is one my daughter loves too; she is 5 and reads this to herself all the time, but with long pauses between reading each page as she gazes at the horses dreamily. This book is a favourite now. English mums, like me, won't like the MOMs but my daughter thinks that's funny so I guess that's ok then.…!
