PS
Straightforward verse describes the book's star: "Noni the Pony is shiny and fat. / Her best friends are Dave Dog and Coco the Cat." The illustrations, in which blues and greens outfit a pastoral setting, reflect the rhymes' tranquility, but this conflict-free book feels less like a story than an introduction to a character we may see again.
