My daughter Brooke (5) is just beginning to read on her own, and absolutely loved this book. If your child loves ponies this book will keep their attention. The reading level is appropriate for a beginning reader and the pictures help them to decode the story. An excellent beginner book.

This book was perfect for our Kindergartener who is just learning to read. Pal the Pony kept her interest and motivated her to finish the book. The text is challenging but not frustrating: Plenty of easy to recognise sight words, plus longer words to sound-it-out. Our daughter was so excited to be able to read most of a book herself that she wants to order more. This title would appeal to boys or girls equally.

We choose this book for our struggling reader (1st grade).

I absolutely love this book. It strikes a nice balance between repeating words and easily sound-out-able words. The story is cute, the pictures are so beautiful they'd make lovely wall hangings.

Wonderful book for a toddler. We read it 4 and 5 times a day to our grandaughter who is 2. She loves the horses and cowboys in it but mostly Pal.

I bought this book for two reasons. First, my five year old daughter is a horse nut. Second, she was just starting to learn to read.

When I saw this book I figured this would be a good way of encouraging her to read. I wasn't let down. The words were challenging but not so hard that she couldn't work through them. And the story is sweet and entertaining, holding her interest right through. My hats off to the author on that score! This was a big hit with my daughter and our copy (along with it's follow-up, Pal and Sal) is now well worn.
