My Chincoteague Pony giá ưu đãi

Julie, who loves reading Misty of Chincoteague, works hard to earn enough money to buy a pony, which she plans to do at the annual pony penning and auction at Chincoteague Island on Virginia’s Eastern Shore. At the fairgrounds, she feels an immediate connection with one black-and-white filly. But when the bidding begins, Julie is outbid on every pony, not just the one she longed for. In the end, though, she fulfills her dream through the kindness of strangers. It’s a hard heart, or at least a heart that hasn’t been pre-softened by readings of Marguerite Henry’s Misty books, that won’t be touched by this lovely picture book. Based on an incident Jeffers witnessed on Pony Penning Day, the story is told in simple, direct language with an aside that briefly explains the legend of how ponies came to Assateague Island and how saltwater cowboys round them up and swim them across the channel to Chincoteague each year. With echoes of Wesley Dennis’ illustrations, Jeffers’ precise, graceful ink-and-watercolor artwork will captivate children, especially those who share Julie’s fascination with ponies.
