5.0 out of 5 stars Goodbye Pony
The story was sad. Poor Wiston, he pasted away. I feel sorry for Anna. She tried so hard to make Wiston better. Also Acorn lost a friend. I bet Acorn felt sad to. But things like that happen. Ms.Wiggins (who owned Wiston) was very sad. She cried for the rest of the day. But the PONY PALS had an idea. They trained Acorn to drive a chart in the WINTER PARDED. When...

2.0 out of 5 stars Not Very Realistic
My little sister got this book out of the library, and I skimmed over it. It is very sad and it is unrealistic, because Ms. Wiggins' pony, Winston, gets sick and dies, and he lies down for a long time while he's dying.
I read in an animal magazine once that horses' ribs get squished underneath them if they lie down for awhile; which is why they sleep standing up...

Ms.Wiggins (who owned Wiston) was very sad. She cried for the rest of the day. But the PONY PALS had an idea. They trained Acorn to drive a chart in the WINTER PARDED. When Ms.Wiggins saw Acorn taking Wiston's place she was filled with joy. Yeah for Acorn! What a hero!

5.0 out of 5 stars Sad but Realistic, April 5, 2007
A Kid's Review
This was my favorite book out of the Pony Pal series. But, it was also very sad. It had me crying when Winston died. He was my favorite pony in the whole series!!!!!!!!!! I have a pony and I hope he dies in peace just like Winston did. Even though it's sad, this book is realistic. Nothing lasts forever; including ponies.

Read this book anyway. It is very good.

5.0 out of 5 stars The loss of a pony., June 28, 2002
A Kid's Review
I thought this book was extremally sad I even cried during the bit with Ms Wiggens coming home. I have a pony and I would be devastated if he died(his name is Acorn!)

Ms Wiggens is training Anna and Acorn for the Wiggens Winter Festival. When she has to go to a painting show in Boston she asks Anna and her Pony Pals Pam and Lulu to visit her pony Winston and horse Picasso. The Pony Pals discover that Winston is sick so along with Acorn they help take care of him. Anna is convinced that Winston is okay but Pam and Lulu know the time has come. Can they help Anna say good-bye? Also with Winston on his death bed Anna isn't sure if there will be a pony leading the parade. Can Acorn do it? A very sad but nice book.

4.0 out of 5 stars what will anna do?, June 30, 2002
A Kid's Review
Anna was left resposible to care for Winston, Mrs. Wiggins' pony while she was on a trip.Winston is a very special pony,not only because Mrs.Wiggins loves him,but because he pulls the cart every year in the spring parade.Then,everything goes wrong and Winston gets sick and dies...how will everyone do? What about the parade? The Pony Pals have it all figured out......

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Book, June 10, 2002
A Kid's Review
This is a really good book it is really life like and you really end up feeling sorry for Anna. I own every book up to 27 and this would have to be one of my favourites. Everything flows together well and you feel like you are there. This is another great Pony Pal book!

The book was sad when Winston, Ms. Wiggins's old pony died. Now Ms. Wiggins doesn't have a pony for the parade. Read this book to find out what she will do next.
