Part of the Bramble and Maggie series
A bored horse's antics lead to unexpected friendships and neighborhood harmony.
When Maggie heads to school, her horse Bramble finds trouble with the neighbor, Mr. Dingle. Mischief ensues until a wayward hen and a mysterious midnight guest teach Bramble the art of being a good neighbor. Can Bramble learn to balance fun and friendship, or will her antics cause chaos? Discover how unexpected allies can turn mischief into harmony in this delightful tale of friendship and compromise.
Maggie and her mischievous horse, Bramble, are back for another spirited romp through the ins and outs of friendship. Maggie loves introducing her new horse, Bramble, to the neighborhood, the beach, and the backyard. Bramble has fun too, once she is cajoled into participating by a well-timed carrot or two. But when Maggie has to go to school, Bramble is bored and lonely and gets into some trouble with Mr. Dingle next door. A misbehaving hen and a midnight visitor finally help to turn Bramble into a good neighbor. This charming and funny early reader flows at just the right pace for kids who are learning that others don’t always do exactly what you want, but that friends find a way to give and take.
