Another wonderful Animal Ark book! Shona the Shetland pony is so cute and friendly, how could anyone not love her? Well, her owner, a little girl named Polly, doesn't love her... in fact she refuses to have anything to do with her. Mandy, of course, takes up the challenge of getting Polly to like the pony... but will she succeed? I really liked how they used Blackie, James' dog, as a go-between to get Polly interested in Shona. Polly really loves animals, but her mom died in a freak riding accident, which is why she doesn't want anything to do with her new pony. But she loves Blackie, and Blackie and Shona quickly become friends, so it helps bridge the gap between owner and pony.

Ben M. Baglio was born in New York in 1960, and grew up in a small town in New Jersey. Baglio studied English Literature at the University of Pennsylvania. After graduation, he worked as a children's book editor in New York City. Five years later, a job at publishing house in England became available and he moved there to accept the position. Some show more time after that, Baglio decided to try his own hand at writing and created the characters of Mandy Hope and James Hunter. Their adventures became known as the Animal Ark series. The books originally were published in England, under the pseudonym Lucy Daniels, and have since gone on to be published in the USA and translated into 15 languages. There is also a live-action television series based on the books in England. Some of Ben Baglio's titles are The Brave Bunny, Sheepdog In The Snow, and Spaniel in a Stocking. Baglio has also contributed one title, The First Olympics, to the Choose Your Own Adventure gamebook series. Baglio also wrote the Horseshoe Trilogies. (Bowker Author Biography) show less
