For a book based on such a complex and involved episode, this is actually pretty good.
This is a Passport to Reading 1 book that uses short words and short sentences to read together with an adult.
Overall, I thought the book was easy-to-follow. I find that many beginner books based on TV episodes are often choppy and hard to follow, but I thought this one did well. Perhaps this is because I have seen the episode this was based on, but I think Fox did a good job getting the main points across while not including every plot line (poor Spike’s story gets cut out and Discord is not featured at all) to help simplify the story.
I really enjoyed the pictures. They are similar to the show, but have their own style, which I thought was a fun interpretation of the ponies.
Nice holiday message at the end. I enjoyed this book. Great for My Little Pony fans.
