Polonius the Pit Pony
When a family of Travelling woodworkers take in an unwanted Pit Pony, little do they know he's going to be their hero!
"What a pleasure to read! With lively text, lovingly drawn illustrations and engaging plot, both my boys were captivated.
I would strongly recommend this book because it is a multi-layered, stereotype-challenging book about determination and courage and kindness. And it is just lovely to read and to think about, even long after you’ve come to the end of it." Amy, Isaac, age 5 and Cassius, age 3.
