Finnegan the Chincoteague: The Pony Who Knew Everything

Author:  Dr. Susan Grace Edwards Mosher

Part of: Finnegan the Chincoteague (3 books)

Finnegan thought he knew everything a pony needed to know.

He had grown up. He had made wonderful friends. He knew about people, pastures, brushes, halters, and even soccer balls.

Clearly, Finnegan was a Very Educated Pony.

He was mistaken.

When Finnegan's next adventure takes him to “school,” this confident little Chincoteague Pony discovers that there is much more to learn than walking, stopping, and following directions. Learning means making mistakes and trying again. It means listening, communicating, trusting, facing something that feels scary, and discovering that sometimes the human has homework, too!

With humor, heart, and one pony who is quite sure he already knows the answers, The Pony Who Knew Everything gently explores perseverance, communication, personal space, courage, trust, confidence, and the value of continuing to learn.

Young readers will enjoy Finnegan's funny misunderstandings and adventures, while parents, teachers, and caregivers will find natural opportunities to talk about mistakes, frustration, boundaries, bravery, trust, and what it means to be a good partner and friend.

Inspired by a real Chincoteague Pony, The Pony Who Knew Everything is the third book in the Finnegan the Chincoteague series, which follows Finnegan from his beginnings on Chincoteague Island through his adventures growing up, making friends, discovering his talents, and learning about the world around him.
