The Princess and the Pony by Kate Beaton
The teeny tiniest of adorable farting ponies gives the biggest of laughs in this riotously inventive new title from Kate Beaton, the artist behind the bestselling Hark! A Vagrant. Fall in love with a teeny-tiny, roly-poly, cutie pie of a farting pony in this wickedly funny tale from Kate Beaton, the artist behind the comic phenomenon Hark! A Vagrant. Princess Pinecone knows exactly what she wants for her birthday this year. Not a cosy sweater like always, but a horse: a big horse, a strong horse, a horse fit for a Warrior Princess! But when the day arrives, Pinecone doesn't quite get the horse of her dreams... Brave Viking warriors and big surprises abound in this laugh-out-loud title.
This quirky tale with its comic illustrations is fun to read out loud and had my Year Two class enthralled and gigglingIt is a refreshingly different ‘princess’ book with lots of surprises. * Reading Time *
If anyone had told me I would fall for a farting pony, I would have given them my famous raised eyebrows over-the-spectacles look. But it’s definitely the pony in this children’s picture book that has prompted me to fandom. * The Book Chook *
