From the Bookjacket:
OUR FIRST PONY tells the story of twin boys- Justin and Joey Franklin-and their love for a sleek pinto Shetland named Midge. When Mr. Wolter, the proprietor of Oak Creek Farm, offers Midge to an "exceptional family," the boys jump at the chance. They win her, show her off, and in the bargain wind up with more than they ever imagined-a horse family of their own. With characteristic charm and simplicity, Marguerite Henry tells a true-to-life story that will appeal to any child curious about the joys and difficulties of owning and raising horses.
