Book Cover & Preview Text
When she heard the words of the dream pony, Carol opened her eyes to find that her cotton pony was no longer by her side but at the foot of her bed. Its shape and size had changed. It was the size of a real pony, with an arched neck and a face that smiled in welcome. And she knew by the pony’s words that a marvelous adventure awaited her. It was then that the seven-year-old said, “I am ready. What wonderful place will we visit tonight?”
