by Kate Beaton
Beaton, K. (2015). The princess and the pony. New York, NY: Arthur A. Levine Books.
Princess Pinecone's birthday is coming up, and in a kingdom full of warriors, she's expecting some pretty fantastic birthday presents. This year in particular she made sure to let everyone know that she wanted a big, fast, strong, warrior horse. Her parents however present her with a small, round, roly-poly pony that eats everything and farts too much. How is the princess supposed to win the upcoming battle with this very unwarrior like, hopeless pony? In the heat of the battle, just as Princess Pinecone is readying her weapons (spitballs) and preparing to take down Otto the Awful, a most peculiar thing happens. Completely enamored with the pony, the warriors cease battling to pet and admire this unusual creature. Relishing the chance to show off their cuddly side, the warriors vote Pinecone and the pony Most Valuable Warriors and the princess realizes she has the best horse a warrior could ask for. Pinecone and her pony are not your typical princess and horse and students in PK-2 will adore this heartwarming and hilarious book.
