A Beautiful Book About Love and Redemption: This is such a heartwarming story – based on a real-life Buster – that teaches kids about the value of friendship and the power of love. Kids will enjoy seeing that a little girl is the one who gives a cast-off toy a second chance at a whole new life. What will Buster do next?
An amazing book for children ages 1 to 100! Loved it. Deceptively simple (at first). Great gift for any parent or child… or even someone with forgotten dreams that just need to be lifted up and dusted off. Bonus: I loved the life lessons included as well as discussion points to interact with your kids. I highly recommend (this is the 1st children’s book I’ve ever recommended).
Loved this book! Buster the Dumpster Pony captures attention with delightful illustrations and a story with messages so very important for children to hear. It expands the imagination combined with empathy for the horse that translates into the mind of the young child. Not only that, helping children go beyond their world to understanding others….so it gives them a bridging experience to people, in general, in addition to animals. My sons, four and two years old were fascinated especially by the real pictures in the back of the book connecting them to the story itself. A perfect gift for Christmas or birthdays! Wonderfully heartfelt!
