Reviews of Isla and Pickle: The Pony Party

Praise for the Isla and Pickle series:'Upbeat, cheerful, and just right for those who enjoy a good pony story (or dream of having a horse of their own). Colorful illustrations with plenty of background detail show little Pickle to be the kind of slightly mischievous pony that would make a good pal. Isla, meanwhile, decked out in a cable-knit sweater and plaid boots, is just determined and resourceful enough to deserve him.'– Randall Enos, BooklistThis is a delightful story about friendship and enjoying life — messy or not! The illustrations are delightful and packed full of humour and you are bound to fall in love with little Pickle and his loyal friend Isla. We love it!'– BookBairn, book blogger'Kate McLelland's bright and funny illustrations make this book instantly appealing… A perfect book for fans of horses and ponies that is sweet and full of fun.'– Acorn Books, book blogger
