"The Princess and the Pony"–Kate Beaton's Adorable Children's Book Giveaway

Since my experience with the wonderful Kate Beaton’s work is limited to the chain-smoking, foul-mouthed Wonder Woman of Hark, A Vagrant, when I first received an email about her new picture book for children, my first response was, “A children’s book?”

I should have known better because The Princess and the Pony is equal parts adorable and funny, and still very Beaton, especially given that the Pony is a character from Hark, A Vagrant. It’s about a warrior princess who is given sweaters as gifts instead of warrior things and given the Pony who farts instead of a war-horse.

I read it out loud to all of my nearly-adult kids and we all loved it, and then spent time looking for all the fun hidden in the artwork.

Now here’s a chance for GeekMom readers to win a The Princess and the Pony Gift Pack.

SMALL, FAT, AND MIGHTY prize pack
One (1) winner receives:
· A copy of The Princess and the Pony;
· $50 Visa gift card;
· Plus a Kate Beaton-designed Pony t-shirt and “Small Fat and Mighty” coffee mug.
