Do you like animals in your Christmas stories? If so, here’s one with a pony in it. It’s a sweet story and you might find it at your local library. I did.
The Christmas Pony by Melody Carlson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
3.5 stars. Or maybe 3.75 stars.
I really enjoyed this story (once I figured out that George wasn’t 18–why I thought he was 18, I’m not sure). Lucy was so sweet, and Grandma and Mama were real. The setting was well done. I could picture the small town, the country farmhouse, and even the old car.
Though not strongly Christian like some books, it was Christian in a sense that there were prayers, going to church and even a good reminder of how Christ humbled Himself when He came and was born to a poor family.
The little girl isn’t sure if she believes in Santa Claus or not, and Veronica wasn’t very nice (to say the least), but it was a good story.
I think I’m going to want to read this book again another year.
Don’t forget the audio giveaway from the 2nd.
