National Geographic Readers: Ponies

There's nothing cuter than a pony. With big black eyes and stumpy legs, these horse relatives are fun to ride and pet in captivity, but have you ever seen them running wild? Brand new baby foals are able to walk within minutes of being born. They take their clumsy steps at first, but it's not long before they turn into some of the most graceful animals on earth. In this level 1 reader kids learn all about ponies accompanied by beautiful National Geographic photography of these animals in all their wild glory.
