From School Library Journal:
Kindergarten-Grade 3-In this sequel to Winter Pony (North-South, 2002), Anna is once again challenged by her headstrong horse. Although Prince is too young to be ridden, the girl is teaching him to walk with a halter and lead rope. When a tractor suddenly appears, the noise terrifies the pony and he bolts. Anna and her grandmother set off to find him, riding through lava fields and past geysers. Grandmother has cleverly brought along apples and carrots and soon has the animal calmed down and ready to return home. Having learned that training a horse requires patience and care, Anna regains Prince's trust, and this time they pass by the tractor without a problem. The panoramic watercolor illustrations featuring muted golden tones against the gray mountains, soft blue skies, and green pastures bring the beauty of the Icelandic countryside to life. The characters' facial expressions are easy to interpret and reveal the warm relationship between Anna and her grandmother and the playful one between the girl and Prince. The ponies, with their unkempt manes, are wonderfully sturdy and totally lifelike. A good choice for horse enthusiasts.-Carol Schene, Taunton Public Schools, MA
