I loved this book! The Pony Pals do a wonderful job (as usual) working together in order to take care of the little baby foal. They take on responsibilities that most kids their age would balk at, and they do it willingly because they want to help the colt. And I think it's sweet how they refuse to give the colt to the woman who is mean and just wants to raise him for money.
