Runaway Radish by Jessie Haas

Bouncy, red Radish was just a young pony when he got his first owner, Judy. He taught her many lessons..."and scared her just a little". They became best friends until one spring when Judy discovered she had grown too big for Radish. What would Radish do if Judy got a new horse? Would he have to leave? Where would he go? What if he got lost?

You will love this easy-reading "biography" of a smart, brave little pony with a mind of his own.
