Book Description
Molly the pony waits. She waits in her stall. She waits during the storm. She waits for her owner to return.So begins the true story of a patient pony who is rescued from a south Louisiana barn after Hurricane Katrina and finds a new life on a farm with new animal friends. But Molly's tale of courage does not end here. When a dog on the farm attacks Molly, her front leg is badly injured. For a pony, a damaged leg is life threatening. To the amazement of veterinarians, though, Molly rises to her new challenge. She undergoes a rare surgery for horses: amputation of her front leg. Now fitted with a prosthetic limb, Molly relearns how to walk and embarks again on a new mission in life: making new people friends. This plucky pony's story of survival and friendship will win the hearts of readers young and old. All who have had to start over after displacement, abandonment, injury, or amputation will find a friend in Molly as they follow her story of bringing a smile to everyone she meets.

Molly The Pony July 20, 2008
Great little book about Molly, the pony rescued after Hurricane Katrina, and fitted with a prosthesis after losing her leg from a dog attack. Inspiring and uplifting. Although written for children, this simple story complete with great pictures, will be an inspiration for anyone. Molly is the pony who would not quit and neither would those who came to her rescue. Not just for horse lovers, recommended for anyone in need of a lift.
 Amazing pony July 3, 2008
I was a bit disappointed in this book, after reading news reports about the good work Molly is now doing with injured humans. As a whole this is a well written story about a mature pony with great pluck and stamina. However, in my opinion, not enough was said about the encouragement she gives to children and adults, civilians and military, in her visits.
Still, my 4 year old granddaughter insisted on having me read it to her three times in succession, when it arrived.
Great Lesson To Be Learned Book June 24, 2008
I bought this book for my 13 year old granddaughter who's passion is horses. She also lives in the southern part of Louisiana and experienced some affects of Katrina.
She would not put the book down until she finished it!!
Great learning tool also!!!
Fantastic! June 18, 2008
This book a terrific TRUE story that facinated my 9 year old grandaughter who loves horses. I bought it to read to my 5-6 year-olds in my preschool classroom and they all loved the story as well. Pictures are large, real photos that all the children wanted to look at over and over. Thank you for such a great story that led to a lot of good discussion about older people in resthomes, helping others, our responsibility to care for animals, determination and strength to make the best of a tough situation and outcomes that can almost make things better than they were before....not to mention the disasterous flood that preceeded this story.
Molly the Pony: A True Story June 5, 2008
Great book for kids. Shows a story of survival and purpose and how anyone can be "different" and have a strong purpose. I am an animal lover and fell in love with this horse and story.
