The Christmas
Pony
By Melody Carlson
The queen of the
Christmas novella, Melody Carlson pens another magical tale of expectation and
excitement as one little girl dreams big and the impossible becomes possible.
Eight-year-old Lucy
Turnbull knew better than to wish for a pony that Christmas in 1937. Her mother
had assured her in no uncertain terms that asking for a pony was the same as
asking for the moon. Besides, the only extra mouths they needed at their
boarding house were the paying kind. But when an interesting pair of strangers
comes to town, Lucy starts to believe her Christmas wishes might just come true
after all.

My Thoughts:
Every book that I've read by Melody Carlson I've enjoyed. Even with the shorter novels such as this one, they're easy to get right into the story and characters, and enjoy all the way until the end. It reminded me of Miracle on 34th street where the little girl wishes for a dad and a new house and believes with her entire being that it will come true. These are the feel good stories of the season!
sounds like a story i would love to read to my daughter on xmas eve!
