Author of much loved Australian classics like Magic Beach and more recently the beautiful Running With the Horses, Alison Lester’s latest picture book, Noni the Pony (HB $25) is as cute as ever.
Noni is friendly and funny with a tail the colour of honey. Spending her days dancing and prancing at her home at Waratah Bay, Noni is entirely happy. But when the thunder roars and the wind shakes the trees, Noni and her friends are scared, spooked by monsters in the night. But together, with a story to make them brave and the comfort of a snuggle and a song, Noni and her friends survive to dance and prance another day.
With Lester’s trademark charming illustrations, Noni the Pony is perfect for bedtime stories. Recommended for kids 1 – 4 yrs old.
