Book Descriptions
for Snow Pony and the Seven Miniature Ponies by Christian Trimmer and Jessie Sima
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
A shimmering, hair-braiding, line-dancing horse stars alongside seven miniature ponies in this sassy Snow White -inspired tale. Snow Pony and Charmaine specialize in song-and-dance routines, much to the delight of kids who visit their farm—and to the consternation of fellow equine Queenie. Believing her own considerable talents are eclipsed by Snow Pony’s showy behavior, Queenie lures Snow into the forest with a trail of apples. Lost, frightened, and ill-tempered from eating so much fruit, Snow stumbles upon a stable where seven miniature ponies of diverse interests (beekeeper, gardener, tax attorney…) reside. Snow Pony enjoys their company, and they appreciate her skills, but she misses Charmaine. Meanwhile, the children back at the farm are bored to death by Queenie’s intro-to-scrapbooking classes. A cool but brilliant palette and storybook illustrations perfectly complement this ridiculous retelling of a classic tale that ends with a joyful reunion. (Ages 4–8)

From the Publisher
From Christian Trimmer and bestselling illustrator Jessie Sima comes an adorable and imaginative twist on the tale of Snow White…with lots more ponies!
Sweet Snow Pony is loved by all for her beautiful coat as white as snow and her mane as black as ebony. Children come to her farm from all over just to have her braid their hair and teach them line dancing.
But not everyone loves Snow Pony. Jealous Queenie hatches an evil plan to make Snow Pony run away from the stable by planting a trail of apples into the woods and before long Snow Pony is lost! Full of delicious apples but all alone in the woods, Snow Pony stumbles upon the home of seven miniature ponies. The mini-ponies couldn’t be cuter, especially with Snow Pony’s braids, but they don’t have quite the same moves as the kids back on the farm.
Will her new friends help her find her way home? Or will the evil Queenie get her way?
