Summary from Exisle
Patch the pony is lonely. He has fun with his young owner, Sam, and the
other farm animals are friendly, but sometimes it feels as if he still
doesn’t quite fit in. Then one day Sam has an idea and something happens
that changes Patch’s life forever.
Nayu's thoughts
Cute! Cute! CUTE! If you hadn't already guessed this book is cute.
I fell in love with Patch on the cover, and like how the first and
last inner cover pages reflect what's happening in the story at the
start and the end. I love friendly the animals are, how they have tea
and do washing like humans, how Patch is part of their life but for a
while doesn't have a special someone. I love all the hearts that work
their way onto the page when Ruby appears, as well as how each animal
family is affected by Ruby's appearance.
It's a fluffy feeling read,
filled with hope, friendship, and love. The story obviously explains
what is going on, while the pictures paint the full picture of Patch's
loneliness, as well as how much he enjoys being with his friends but
still needs that special someone who is Ruby. I know I'll be rereading
this (or just looking at the pictures) whenever I need cheering up as
its' cuteness makes me feel good.
