Noni, friendly and funny, is the perfect pony for preschoolers. Like Noni herself, the light rhyme, bustling with rhythm and easy to read, is friendly and funny.... Each couplet is accompanied by Lester's droll illustrations.... The gentle ending, with pony and friends cuddled up for bed, slows the trotting long enough-- just the way a book for toddlers should end. Night-night, Noni. <p><p> --Kirkus Reviews , August 2012

In [Alison Lester's]... Noni the Pony, an unabashedly sweet and simple tale about a happy pony, her affection and easy familiarity with these four-legged favorites shine through... the target audience will appreciate its simple cadences, which allow them to predict the rhyming words and to participate in the pleasures of the story.... Lester's cheerful illustrations nicely match the text, yet offer welcome surprises. There's something amusing about Noni's oversimplified movements, from her squirrel-like leap on the cover to her curled-up-like-a-kitty finale.
