10 posts | 22 read | 8 to read
Introducing Kate Beaton, a major new picture book talent, and author/illustrator of #1 "New York Times" bestseller "Hark! A Vagrant"! Princess Pinecone knows exactly what she wants for her birthday this year. A BIG horse. A STRONG horse. A horse fit for a WARRIOR PRINCESS! But when the day arrives, she doesn't quite get the horse of her dreams... From the artist behind the comic phenomenon "Hark! A Vagrant," "The Princess and the Pony" is a laugh-out-loud story of brave warriors, big surprises, and falling in love with one unforgettable little pony."

Eeee, so cute! But was intended as a Christmas gift for a six-year-old girl and it's more picture-booky than I had expected. Hm. She might need a second book in a higher reading level.

Lindy School Library Journal rates this for K to Grade 2, and Kirkus says Ages 3-8. I know a lot of adults who enjoy it too. I understand what you mean about this being too much of a picture book, because it‘s about optics. Even 7-year-olds feel like they are too old to enjoy a picture book. It‘s a shame. 5y
esurient @Lindy Yes, I had purchased based on similar ratings. Oh well -- no harm if she doesn't like it; it will be lost amid the grand gift swarm and, in, cough, 'worst case' scenario, donated to her local library. 5y
Lindy @esurient Fingers crossed that she will adore this. It‘s such a great book. If you are there when she opens it, ask her to share it with any other adults present. The enjoyment adults get from it may increase her appreciation. 5y

This picture book is so damn funny. Also, when I draw horses this is what they look like.

It has a few tough words for kiddos to work through, but a mostly easy read. Silly and super cute!

Sent this to my niece for her birthday and I'm so glad I did! Hilarious, heartfelt and fun with a strong princess and Kate Beaton's great style of illustration. I just love that pony!
