Product Description
A fanciful foray into the imagination of a child can be found in the delightfully written and dazzlingly illustrated new children's book, The Sleep Ponies. Author/illustrator Gudrun Ongman, a professional sculptor and painter, has transformed her mother's bedtime tale into a lyrical myth about magic ponies that carry children away to golden fields of dreams. The sweet story, the evocative, description prose, and the warm, soft watercolors all combine to captivate both parent and child as they journey together to the land of The Sleep Ponies.

The Sleep Ponies is a magical, warm, and absolutely beautiful book. The dream-like illustrations and gentle rhythm of the words lulls my girls to sleep at night.
This book ought to be on the shelf of every child's bookcase.

For a granddaughter who loves riding, this was an especially charming bed time story. The descriptions were delightful.

A beautiful story for bedtime with magical illustrations that captivated even my 11 month old niece. I enjoyed reading it to her as much as she liked hearing it!

This beautiful story gave my creative 8-year-old daughter (who loves horses)a new way to be willing to fall asleep. When she asks me (nightly) "How should I fall asleep tonight, mama?" I can answer, "Just call your sleep ponies." The writing is young for her level of reading, but I think keeping it simple at bedtime is the way to go, anyway. It's not time to rev up the thinking mind, after all, just the dreaming mind.
