Description: A rascally pony, two run-down carts, and a pile of moldy harness seemed like a strange start to a journey full of ups and downs that led Rosie to the most meaningful Christmas of her life. But looking back, she knew it all began that fall day at the livestock auction.
Review Quotes: Warm. Authentic. Wholesome. Christian. And, very horsey! I love the way the Christian elements were included in this book. It seemed to be done very gently, and in a way kids can understand. Watson does a good job of tying in spiritual truths with the things the girls learn about horses. Although Rosie and Scamper is a children's book, it is a wonderful story for all ages of horse lovers. I especially enjoyed the family values and Scripture passages and examples included in the story - it was such a delight to find the Gospel clearly presented during the course of the story. I found this book to be wholesome and fun, interesting and educational. The role the grandmother plays in this book is nothing less than inspiring. Ms Watson made the unusual effort to include extended family members as characters in her book and I believe it has worked well for her.
