My granddaughter loves horses & she was struggling with reading starting into the 1st grade. I got this for her on the Kindle Fire to encourage her to start reading for pleasure - not just because she has to. With the work the school put in with her and books like this about topics she really likes, she has now excelled in reading! Another plus are the values/morales these books teach - the children are presented with a situation where there is a right & a wrong... it follows their decisions in dealing with those situations & the final outcome based on those decisions well.
One of my five year old twins discovered the Pony Scouts series at the library. Since then, we have borrowed many of the Pony Scouts books. This series of easy reader books was written by Catherine Hapka and illustrated by Anne Kennedy.The Pony Scouts is a club made up of three girls. Jill seems to be the leader of the group by default because she lives on a farm with the ponies. Meg and Annie are her friends who love everything to do with ponies.In The Trail Ride, Jill and Meg and Annie are having a riding lesson. Their mother is distracted by the arrival of the farrier, and instructs them not to trot. Meg says that they are ready to go on a trail ride because they can steer their ponies around the cones set up in the ring. The other girls are reluctant, but they go along with Megâs idea. On the trail ride, they get lost but the ponies know how to get home. Jillâs mother is not happy; the girls point out that they didnât trot, but Jillâs mother says that they are too young to go on a trail ride without an adult. The girls accept responsibility for their actions and promise not to do it again.I really liked this installment of the series. The girls demonstrate that they are good friends, and they donât let Meg take the blame for leaving the ring, and they say that they all made the decision and that Pony Scouts stick together. I liked the message that it isnât okay to disobey instructions, to accept responsibility for disobeying, and to stick together with friends.I also liked that this story introduces children to some more horse related terminology. The farrier only plays an indirect role in the story, but it was informative to learn a new term.I would recommend Pony Scouts: The Trail Ride. This book is written at a second grade reading level and will appeal to children from kindergarten to second grade.
What a great series-My first grader loves the entire series and they are at the perfect reading level for her. So glad I listened to the positive reviews. Highly rec. -- engaging stories I even enjoy and my 4 year old as well :)
I absolutely love all the books in the Pony Scouts series. Story lines and illustrations are very cute. Plus, as a former "barn rat" I love that they use a lot of horse-world terms and even have a glossary page in the back of each book. My daughter is only 2 but loves hearing these stories and has already picked up several barn terms... For example she now says she is putting the "tack" on her toy ponies when she pretends to put on their saddles. Too cute.
Naughty pony scouts sneak out for a trail ride by themselves! Annie knows it's not the right thing to do, but goes along anyway. Fortunately, when the girls become lost, she remembers to let the ponies take the lead. The ponies deliver the girls safely home.Just the thing for pony-crazed readers. This delivers a serious message with a gentle touch.
This is a good book, our daughter likes it. It is a little wordier than the Party Pony book, but still good. It also talks about listening to adults and following the rules.
Both of my daughters love this series. Great for building reading confidence in k-1 readers. Stories are cute and illustrations are nice.
My first grader loved this book! My third grader even likes to read it even though it is too easy for her.
