The Princess and the Pony

The Princess and the Pony

Written and illustrated by Kate Beaton

Ages 4–6 Picture book

Princess Pinecone wants a battle-ready horse, but gets a small, adorable pony. The unlikely pair head toward a tournament full of fierce warriors.

Why We Love It

We love that no one questions Pinecone’s right to be a warrior because she’s a girl. A multiracial princess gets to be bold and ambitious, while the toughest fighters reveal their softer sides.

Things to Know

Includes a rambunctious tournament and a gentle turn at the end.
