Runaway Pony

by Jessie Haas, Margot Apple (Illustrations)

Radish is a feisty pony -- and the best teacher Judy has ever had. He teaches her how to ride, how to go fast and far, and even how to fall off. But most of all, he teaches her to be patient. When Judy outgrows him, Radish teaches Nina all the same things, and most of all, how to be brave. But girls grow, and ponies stay the same size. What will Radish do with no one to teach? It takes his running away for Judy and Nina to find the perfect solution, one that keeps Radish from being outgrown ever again!

Cute little story of a girl and her pony, Radish and how the little girl was growing and the pony was of course the same size.
The pony was sad as the little girl was growing up and he didn't have another little girl to ride him.
Then another little girl came along and began riding Radish.

All were happy after that.
