Book Cover & Preview Text
There’s a Polkadot Pony
with a silvery mane
coming through the mist
In a gentle rain.
It’s coming for you,
are you ready to go?
Where’s it going to take you?
Does anybody know?
You’d better be ready
by a quarter past two
for that’s when the pony
is coming for you
to carry you off
with a gallop and a trot
to a land called
(a land called)
NotForgot.
Not Forgot
is a happy little place
and it’s not too far
from the human race,
about a half mile
from a very big smile
and a turnaround
from a fading frown.
The Polkadot Pony
will take you there.
It’s just a dream away
from now - somewhere.

So get ready to ride the Polkadot Pony to the land of NotForgot. The story is about a special dream. It actually reads as lyrics to a song. You can have your child sing along with you as she or he learns the words. Then ride together on the Polkadot Pony to a land rich with nature’s peaceful beauty and happy sounds. Imagine a land beyond the turmoil of today - closer to what should be than what could be.
The dream also carries an important message so relevant in today’s turbulent and challenging world: Take care of our earth - it’s the only one we’ve got.
