At the Show

Juliet, Nearly a Vet #2

by Rebecca Johnson, Kyla May (Illustrator)

Hi! I'm Juliet I'm ten years old. And I'm nearly a vet!

Chelsea and I are helping our friend, Maisy, get her pony ready for the local show. But Midgie is more interested in eating than in learning to jump (sigh). Pony training is a bit more difficult than we thought!

We need some good ideas fast, or the show will be a total disaster , , ,

It's amazing how much has been crammed into this small book! Plenty of animals, nice childhood friendships, and a good message for young readers.

Keby som nezhasla svetlo, číta ešte v piatok večer. No, takto si knižku ušetrila na víkend, ale v podstate jej čítanie trvalo len chvíľu. Už len jeden diel a viac dielov doma nemáme! (Ďakujeme, Barborka, aj za tieto tri :-)). Ozaaaaj, kde nájdem pokračovania, keď je všetko vypredané?!
