Sheltie the Shetland Pony

This is the best chapter book that I have ever read on my own - even better than the Magic Treehouse books! It is about a little girl named Emma who doesn't want to move, but then her parents surprise her with a pony, Sheltie. Sheltie is really sweet and nice but very mischievious. She solves a mystery in the story, with the help of Emma. I read it in one day because the story was so interesting and I liked the characters so much. I can hardly wait to read the rest of the books in the series.

Great Moral

My 7 year old daughter enjoyed reading this book to me and was so excited to know that she had figured the mystery out before the end. She also figured out the moral of the story before they had a chance to explain that stealing and lying was not appropriate. This is one of the first Horse stories that she has read and really sank her teeth in it. She was toting the book everywhere she went, which of course made me proud of her. What a morale booster for kids. The story was holsum and refreshing. We look forward to reading the rest of the series.

sheltie the shetland pony

Excellent book for fairly new readers. My 6 year old read it on one go. She loved the characters, especially the main one, Emma. As always horse stories are a favorite among this age range. It is well set out, with just enough pictures for this age. My 7 year old enjoyed the story also, even though it was below her reading level,
