The Princess and the Pony

(3) K-3 Princess Pinecone, tired of receiving sweaters, requests a warrior horse for her birthday; instead she gets a tiny, googly-eyed pony. She's miffed until she realizes that her adversaries are powerless against its cuteness. Beaton's cartoony art wittily accommodates medieval and modern motifs, as when Pinecone ends up indulging her fellow warriors' "cuddly sides" by unloading some detested sweaters on them.
