The Princess and the Pony

Ebook
Here’s something fun for princess and horse fans: a goofily-illustrated romp starring a princess who knows exactly what she wants—a big, strong horse—and gets something a little bit different: a less-than-impressively–sized pony. Quick, witty, and laugh-out-loud funny.

Good for: ages 3-8

Available at amazon.com, $9.99.
