Author:Katie Price
Jess, Mel, Sam, Amber and Cara spend loads of time with their favourite ponies at Vicki's Riding School. Grooming, sweeping the yard, even mucking out is fun when you love ponies as much as they do. But there's something wrong with Darcy, and Amber's shocked when she finds out that her friend might have to sell her gorgeous pony, Duke. Amber and her friends are determined that that won't happen, so they come up with a plan to help . . .
Katie Price's Perfect Ponies are a charming series of books that are perfect for every little girl aged five to ten years. The adorable pictures and adventures at the riding stables will keep girls occupied for hours!
—— Real PeopleIf you love ponies like Katie does, then these books are perfect for you.
—— www.bettybookmark.co.ukIt may encourage pony mad non-readers to start enjoying the reading experience. If it does that, and I'm certain it will, then one should take one's hat off to Katie
—— LovereadingKatie captured the judges' imagination with her dreamy illustrations
—— GuardianThere's something genially old-fashioned about it all. Otto endures hardship and adventure (including the brush-off he receives from a pair of alley cats) as he flees his old existence and finds new sources of companionship. In this case, the animal adrift ends up with fellow story characters as well as with human readers, who, as they will in real life too, want to keep Otto around
—— Pamela Paul , The New York TimesKatie's illustrations are full of space, gentle colour and apparent simplicity. She also has a real way with drawing animals - Otto is a very handsome bear, a bear that you'll want to hug and make space for on your bookshelves
—— Playing the BookOne of the funniest, and one of the most irreverant Christmas books out there. . . If you like your humour to be slightly scatological in nature, then The Dinosaur That Pooped Christmas will have children in fits of laughter (and a large amount of adults too). . . Brilliant!
—— Martine Horvath , EYE magazineBeautifully illustrated, really funny and rather smelly
—— www.theschoolrun.comAn excellent example of the role that children's literature can play in supporting children's mental health...The House Rabbit gently suggests guided self-management of anxiety through mindful reality checking...I would recommend this book for all children.
—— Simeon Elliott , Wellbeing and Resilience StrategiesIncludes plenty of splendid, vocabulary-enhancing verbs such as "streaked", "tottered" and "padded".
—— Susan Elkin , Independent on SundayMe and You is a wonderful example of the power of illustrations and how hey can play as important a role as words
—— Nursery EducationAnthony Browne offers a new perspective on an old tale
