“Pidgy's Surprise addresses a situation that plays out in most homes, whether the object of the child's longing is a horse or not. Kids will immediately identify with Cindy, knowing how it feels to want something so badly and to have parents who just don't seem to understand. Author Jeanne Mellin allows young readers to think more deeply about the issues involved as they follow the story of Cindy and Pidgy, her Shetland pony. Quill says: Animal-lovers will enjoy the close relationship between a girl and her pony while learning to appreciate what they already have.” – Eloise Michael, Feathered Quill Book Reviews

If you loved Misty, Blaze, or Black Beauty, you’re certain to find a place in your heart for Pidgy, a pudgy pony you’re sure to fall in love with!” – Deb Fowler, Amazon Top 50 Reviewer

“I liked Pidgy’s Surprise a lot. I really like horses and every time I see a horse I wish I could ride one.

Kids of all ages would love to read this book to hear the loving story of Pidgy and Cindy.” - Madeline McElroy (age 9) for Reader Views
