BR:1-14 Princess Polly and the Pony


“Princesses must not gallop!” said the King. “Or canter! Or trot!” But Princess Polly loves riding, so she enters the Pony Dressing-Up Race… in disguise.(Back Cover)



Heroine of this story is Princess Polly. She liked riding a pony and playing in the mud.  So, her father, the King and her mother, the Queen were always getting angry her. She was in trouble and her parents said that she must behave like princess, but she didn’t want to do anything. One day, Polly spotted a poster when she was walking on the way with the King. It was poster about Pony Games and Polly wanted to join in. However, the King and the Queen are giving the first prize, so the King said you can’t enter. She wanted to join in the race by all means. On the day of the race, she put on her costume and crept outside. And she climbed onto Pickle, the smallest pony, so they went to the Games. The race was about to begin and she enjoyed this race. However, she can’t win because her parents mustn’t see her. Do you think who win this race?



There are 47 pages in this book, but it was very easy to read for me because this story was very interesting. And illustration of this book is very cute, too. I thought that Polly might want to play like the ordinary girls all the time. Also, I thought that I want to ride on pony sometime after I read this book.
