review 1: I love any kind of Cinderella story and Ponyella can definitely be added to that list. Numeroff puts a quirky twist on the Cinderella story, this time using ponies. Ponyella is a beautiful white pony that becomes the dirty-worker of the farm when her new owners arrive. Plumpkin and Bun Bun act as the evil antagonists that bully Ponyella throughout the story. "My mane is much nicer than hers...She looks like she's wearing a clown wig!" But these selfish ponies are in for a surprise when they go to the Tippington 25th Annual Grand Royal Pony Championship. Bun Bun and Plumpkin don't even recognize the beautiful Ponyella when she arrives at the competition. But is it enough to impress the princess who judges the Pony Championship?Ponyella is a great book to introduce yo... moreung girls to the story of Cinderella. The blunt harshness from the antagonists in the story is used on ponies, making the book more appropriate for a young reader. It shows young girls that being popular and putting others down won't help you win in the long run-a concept much lost by many girls today.
review 2: My 5-yr old daughter picked this book at a book fair. She looked into the book and told me that this book is about a horse Cinderella. Well, I didn't really get what she meant at first, then we started to read the book together. Oh man it was so fun. We love the part that Sam the Mouse was turned into a driver while he was still holding a piece of cheese. My daughter said she loves the part when Ponyella was turned into a marshmallow white pretty horse. less
