Laura Lee Hope
A children's novel written in the early 20th century. This charming story centers around two young siblings, Bunny and Sue, as they embark on a delightful adventure involving their new pet, a Shetland pony named Toby. The narrative captures the essence of childhood curiosity, mischief, and the joys of pet ownership. At the start of the story, Bunny and Sue are enthusiastically awaiting the arrival of Bunker Blue, who has come to retrieve their family’s ''ark,'' a large automobile used for their past adventures. After some playful persuasion, the children decide to sneak into the back of the ark for an impromptu ride, expressing their eagerness for exploration. Their adventure leads them to a frightened Shetland pony, which instigates a series of events that not only results in the children expressing their desire for a pony of their own but ultimately culminates in their father purchasing Toby, the pony, from Mr. Tallman, ending the opening chapters with the promise of new adventures ahead. The stage is set for a heartwarming tale filled with fun, friendship, and the enchanting bond between children and their animals.
