The Christmas Pony

by Sylvia Green

Mr Crumbs is the golden colour of toast crumbs, and he's a complete carrot addict! How could anybody see such a gorgeous pony, and not keep him for ever? Laura and Ben's dad could - ponies are very expensive to look after. So it's up to Laura and Ben and their friends. If they want to stop Mr Crumbs being sent away from all his old friends, they have to raise the money to keep him. But they've only got until Christmas...Operation Christmas Pont=y has begun!

Read this as an adult for the nostalgia as it was a Christmas gift from my 3rd grade teacher. It was a wholesome quick read that actually made me laugh a few times! Loved the ending

This is a great book with themes of cooperation, perseverance and Lloyds of animal love. We learn not to judge people we don't really know.

Honestly I feel they underpriced their work. Wish I had a horse

Really sweet little novel for young readers. I really loved the themes and that it was about children working hard to take care of innocent animals.
