Accessed only through dreams, sleep ponies transport the young narrator to flower-filled meadows, fast-running streams, and shady ponds. Through Ongman's lyrical prose, rich with nature imagery, little listeners are carried along for the ride on the back of an imaginary pony. The gauzy paintings in watercolors and pastels evoke dreaminess as they picture the wildlife populating the bucolic scenes. This soothing read will please young horse lovers at bedtime or any time of the day.
