Reviews
PreSchool-Grade 1–With one sentence per page, this book will satisfy emergent readers–especially those who have some experience riding. The story line is a brief overview of Lacy's lesson, including her arrival at Jack's stall, her trainer's directives and instruction, and a brush down and a nuzzle. The accuracy of the illustrations is commendable, from the design of the tack room to how a trainer touches the horse to the correct depiction of the trot and canter. Some new vocabulary is introduced, such as bridle and canter, and a glossary is included. An appealing choice for young horse lovers.–Laurel L. Iakovakis, Douglas County Libraries, Castle Rock, CO

PreS-K. In this simple sequel to My Pony Jack (2005), Lacy saddles up her pony, leads him into the ring, and participates in a riding class. Trainer Annie calls out commands as the ponies walk, trot, and canter, and the riders keep their heels down and their heads up. In a lighter moment, Jack trots through a puddle, splashing Annie. At the end of the lesson, the riders cool down their ponies, feed them, and brush them. The book ends with a glossary of terms such as bit ring, post, and tack. Brightened with fall colors, Young's pleasing paintings mirror the simplicity and buoyant tone of the text, which uses short words in brief rhyming phrases. From the publisher's Easy-to-Read series, this is a good addition to the small collection of horse and pony stories that are accessible to younger children. Carolyn Phelan
