Meet all the ponies and their friends in this magical collection of stories from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic! Best friends Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, and Applejack are ready for adventures around Ponyville! Celebrate holidays, meet their pets, and join their rescue team.
Includes both Passport to Reading Level 1 and Level 2 books.
I'm reading this to my daughter, and feel compelled to mention a safety issue. One of the pets (a toothless alligator) likes to bite things. It has a picture of him biting a balloon. 😨
As a new mother fifteen years ago, I was horrified when I learned that balloons pose a serious choking hazard. I can only assume the illustrator didn't know any better. I don't personally ban them - I know some parents who have - but we are cautious.
Meet the Ponies of Ponyville This is basically a level 1 passport introduction to all the main characters from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.
Hearts & Hooves Based on the episode from the TV series, this is when the Cutie Mark Crusaders get it in their heads that setting Cheerilee up with Big Mac is a great idea. Only, it doesn't turn out so great in the end. Another cute and simple level 1 passport story for kids.
Holly, Jolly Harmony Another level 1 passports story based on a TV episode. This one is about the Hearth's Warming Eve origin story as it's told by the ponies in a theater style. Especially a good story around the holidays with all the snow and good feelings flying around.
Ponies Love Pets! We had already read this as an individual book prior to acquiring this collection. It's a level 1 passports book focusing on the pony's pets.
Meet the Princess of Friendship This is another one we already had in individual format prior to this purchase. It has since been passed on to her cousins as we don't need two copies. It was well loved in advance however as Twilight is an obvious favorite and focus of this story, given the title.
Power Ponies to the Rescue! Based on the Power Ponies TV episode, this is the only level 2 passports book out of the bunch. Printed in more of a comic style to match the comic book the group is dragged into thanks to Spike's reading adventure. It's another cute story with a fun twist. A little more wordy than the others for the level adjustment, but not by much.

Lately, young patrons have been asking for "My Little Pony" books, so my library purchased this one to fill the void. I'm not a fan of the redesign of the ponies or the stories themselves, but I know the young girls will be thrilled to see this on the shelf.
