Snow Ponies

Summary: Delightful, Magical, Sure to Be Much Loved By Child & Adult
Review: Developing Storytime Programs for children ranging in ages from two to age five, it can be a challange to locate a book which captures the interest of the youngest ones, and gives the older children a "message" they can walk away with.

Snow Ponies worked wonderfully with all age levels. The youngest were mesmerized by the life-like illustrations done by Jason Cockcroft. The older children at the end of the reading gallloped, danced and nickered, imitating the ponies' play.

Cynthia Cotten's magical message of 'Old Man Winter' left all captivated and spellbound. We all viewed snow much more positively! Snow Ponies was a delight to present to an audience.

Summary: It is delightful.
Review: This book is a delight to the eye, the ear, the imagination, and feelings. Wow! I already summed it up. The pictures are captivating. The poetic text is fun to read and to hear. The imaginary part, the poetic nature, and feelings remind me of 10,000 White Horses by Betsy B. Lee where a child pretends that the foam in the waves contains white horses which she will catch and ride to shore. I think I enjoy both of these books as much as the children do. Like my title of my review says: it is delightful.
