Noni the Pony

Meet Noni, a pony who's as zippy and fun as she is thoughtful and kind.

Introducing Noni, the friendliest, funniest, and friskiest pony you'll ever meet! When she's not racing and chasing with her best pals Dave Dog and Coco the Cat, she's busy making sure they feel cozy and loved. Because Noni isn't just heaps of fun--she's a great friend, too.
With its jaunty rhyme and bright, bold illustrations, this delightful picture book is sure to capture the imaginations and hearts of readers of all ages.

“"The graphic art, with its soft, round shapes and soothing, textured background colors, will appeal to small children, as will the cheery couplets. Not only does this one have potential for storytimes about friendship but it's also suited for bedtime reading (it ends with Noni, Dave, and Coco all snuggled as one) and for sharing with the legions of kids who love, love, love horses."”

"It's the most adorable title to come down the pike in a long time--and it delivers on every page.... Fans of Lester (Running with the Horses) know that she's an expert horse portraitist, but she opts for a radically streamlined approach in this outing, rendering Noni and her friends as...simple, toylike shapes with just enough details to reveal a cheerful, openhearted character: eager round eyes, a sweet little smile, and--in Noni's case--a wavy mane and tail. There's not a whisper of dramatic tension or narrative arc, but no matter: it's a safe bet that readers will follow her anywhere."-- "Publishers Weekly, September 24, 2012, STAR"
