Customer Reviews

So sweet!

I read this to my son and I get teary eyed reading it. I am a fierce horse lover and it reminds me of my girlhood when I dreamed of ponies. Very sweet. I loved every single word.

Sleep Pony Dreams is a great follow up ...

... to "The Sleep Ponies". It is a great addition to any library. I can't wait to share it with my grandchildren. These two make excellant bedtime stories or just anytime to share the love of horses and children's dreams of having one of their own.

"If we could see with our hearts..."

Sleep Pony Dreams is a gentle tale of a young pony's impatience for the big event of the winter, the young sleep ponies first chance to meet their dream child. Wicker the pony waits and waits through the seasons, learning patience from the animals around her. When the big moment is finally arrives, Wicker finds that her impatience disappears in a moment as she responds to help another young pony. This is a beautiful book with dreamy pictures and a heart touching story.

Wonderful Bedtime Story

Sleep Pony Dreams tranports us to the magical, wintery land of the Sleep Ponies. We love the gorgeous illustrations and the gentle coming of age story of Whicker becoming a Sleep Pony. A perfect snuggle up to read bedtime story for anyone who loves animals and magic.

A magical connection

This wonderful story reverses the point of view from its charming predecessor--now we are in the sleep ponies' world, learning how they come to find us. The young pony's quest for her person is immediately accessible to a child's perception of waiting and its attendant frustrations. Nature is ever present as the lyrical language evokes the senses of sound, sight and touch. The journey of the seasons across these exquisite pages of beautifully drawn and expressive animals parallels the journey of this brave and resourceful pony, exactly the companion any child would want in dreams or real life. And while the young reader will be captivated by the magical possibility of connection to such a brave companion, the adult reader will also feel her heart tugged by a deep poignancy for the essence of childhood that is irretrievable. How I would have loved to have known such a sleep pony when I was a little girl.
