Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Penny and Pepper
Jeanne Betancourt · 2011
69/100
👎 Skip It
Horse-loving early readers who stumble onto this will likely enjoy it — the mystery hook works, the friendship arc is warm, and Pepper is an appealing pony. But at 48 pages with no critical recognition, it's a series-starter that satisfies its narrow audience without doing anything memorable for anyone else.
