Expédition Pony Ride by Heath, Gail NEUF

Pony Ride is a delightful rhyming book for children of all ages. Saddle up and come along on an adventurous ride across green meadows, past many animals, and on up the hillside to the roundup where calves are being branded. This rhyming picture book is a tale of a heroic young cowboy, braving element after element, experiencing the world for himself, through the eyes of a child. His journey inspires both tiny tots and early readers to grow up and become just as brave as their new favorite character. This cowboy goes on one awesome adventure after the other, meeting many memorable characters along the way. His story touches the hearts of many, reminding adults of how truly special it is to be included as part of a childs life journey. With colorful illustrations and humor laced throughout the book, readers are given a sample of what its like to spend a day on the ranch. This is a great picture book to introduce the young expédition cowboy or cowgirl to the thrill of the West.
