Ages 4-8: This is the fourth story in a picture book series about the wild pony named Penny. The playful mustang and her friend Star discover a young boy lost in the wilderness.

The pastel watercolor illustrations perfectly complement this gentle tale on the kindness and intelligence of horses. The book includes questions at the end for young readers, making it suitable for classroom reading.
