Sweet and charming for all young girls who love ponies.

Wee ones will giggle their way through Isla and Pickle's light-hearted adventures in this second book about a feisty little girl and her lovable Shetland pony who live on a Scottish island.
There Was a Wee Lassie Who Swallowed a Midgie illustrator Kate McLelland brings the lovable pair to life in bright, humorous illustrations.
Review Quotes
"Low key, upbeat, cheerful, and just right for those who enjoy a good pony story (or dream of having a horse of their own). Colorful illustrations with plenty of background detail show little Pickle to be the kind of slightly mischievous pony that would make a good pal. Isla, meanwhile, decked out in a cable-knit sweater and plaid boots, is just determined and resourceful enough to deserve him." -Booklist
"This picture book set on a Scottish island embraces the themes of friendship and a love of the natural and animal world." -School Library Journal
