Product Description
Book Description
A heart-tugging picture book by the author of the Newbery Honor Book Misty of Chincoteague. Sometimes it seems that the only thing the twins have in common is Midge, the family's Shetland pony. Fair-haired Joseph has a deep love of the outdoors. Dark-haired Justin plays piccolo or reads books. But they tend to Midge, and she gives them the best gift of all--a horse family of their own.

Marguerite Henry writes another beautiful story, Nov 18 2006
By Zoe Paris - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Our First Pony (Paperback)
Henry's stories have a certain 'magic' when it comes to writing about horses. She does it again in this wonderful story about very different twin boys and their first pony. This is more of a book for younger kids but horse lovers of all ages will appriciate it too. It has beautiful pictures, a good balance to the story and Henry's usual realistic, warm and timeless characters. This book is good, clean fun with no scary parts and nothing too intense. If I was a parent or a teacher (I am neither) I would consider this book and excellent choice. Being an aunt, I am sure I will end up reading this again soon!

Not Her Best, Nov 13 2004
By Flame_926 "flame_926" - Published on Amazon.com
I loved the beautiful color pictures and bright cover but the editing in this book really left something to be desired. Ms. Henry had a great little story concept with this book but the choppy storyline and weird page layout made it hard to follow.It appeared that she had written it in her standard form, with chapters, but her editor had removed the chapter tags and had squashed everything together. As a result I kept having to re-read every page to understand what was going on; I feel that a young reader would have been very frustrated by it.
I believe that with some new editing this will be a wonderful book. In the meantime I will just keep looking at the pictures.
