I really thought that my daughter would like this book more than she does. It's pretty and glittery and features quite a few of her favorite ponies. However, there's no story to read, just a few sentences describing each scene.
We rarely pull this one off the shelf.

It is a best story to read. It is so funny to me. You will love it a lot. I know that. They are cartoon pony if you don't know that.

Ugh...PONIES! I find My Little Ponies rather offensive in their contrived diversity. I mean, come on Kimono the mystic Japanese pony? Please. Hopefully the new line will feature Sombrero, the Mexican grape-picking pony, and Pasta, the Italian gangster pony. And how did they build that Glitter Castle anyway? They don't even have opposable thumbs?
So, why give it five stars, you ask? Well, as frustrated as these ponies make me, as angry and confused about the injustice in the world and the worthlessness of it all, I find the gentle hues of their skin enchanting, and the rich color of their hair hypnotic, and their words so honest, almost as if their thoughts were being transferred digitally as 1s and 0s to my brain instead of muddled with the ambiguity of language. There's something to be said for indulging occasionally in discourse and beauty even though the better half of my brain flickers in warning at the moral obligations therein betrayed.
