Imagine you've just got home from another boring trip to the supermarket and are unpacking all your items. How much more fun would it be if you were unpacking a load of pony books! Funnily enough all the contents of this particular shopping trip correspond to at least one pony book title (some to more than one). Can you work them out? 1. 2. 3. STRAWBERRY ROAN BY DON LANG + ? 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. A HORSE NAMED CINNAMON BY JEAN HOVDE 10. GINGERBREAD BY HELGA SANDBURG 11. BLUEBERRY BY HELGA SANDBURG 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. APPLEGATE BY FIONA CITROEN + ? 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. CRAB THE ROAN BY KATHLEEN HERALD 30. Warning: some are a bit cryptic, you know my tortuous mind by now!

Don't know why I'm laughing really though as I haven't got a clue for any as I'm hopeless at this kind of thing unless 9 is a horse named Cinnamon (but that's probably too obvious)

Yes it is A Horse Named Cinnamon (there are one or two easy ones!) and yes 10. is the other 'foodie' title by Helga Sandburg, Gingerbread. Actually I got the idea for this quiz from the strange titles thread so visiting that one may help you in this quiz if you're stuck

Forgot to say what REALLY annoys me with computers is when files completely disappear. Happened lots of times to me and I just can't understand where they go, especially as I back everything up and the back up files disappear too! BTW Tin Can Tucker is correct. Well done!

I thought 21 were hazelnuts at first glance But actually looking at them again they look like sweet chestnuts

no. 7 peanut the pony rat - Gillian Rubinstein?

Post by haffyfan on Mar 1, 2011 19:54:54 GMT 1
okay then - still reeling from actually getting one right - could 23 (sticking with the obvious theme) be Water Wagtail by Jane De barge hubert (sp)

This is probably way off the mark, but is 27 The Chestry Oak by Kate Seredy?

I thought 21 were hazelnuts at first glance But actually looking at them again they look like sweet chestnuts Rosie is on the right track with this one - it isn't Red Conker. 30 is correct. 7 is Peanuts the Pony Rat, but theres also another book with peanuts in the title if you can get it! 23 is Water Wagtail plus there is another one with water in the title. 27 isnt The Chestry Oak tho.

Post by haffyfan on Mar 2, 2011 21:32:57 GMT 1
I know it should be one answer at a time but i think I amy have got another possibly (and I doubt I have a hope of getting any more)
Is 28 the Peggie Cannam book is it corntails and carrot tops or something like that?
|

Post by Claire on Mar 2, 2011 22:25:17 GMT 1
19 is indeed the Orange Pony. 25 isnt the Milkman's Cob but full marks for effort haffy as its a really good answer and I didnt even think of it! But you did get no. 28 right. Its Corn and Carrot Tops by Peggie Cannam. Well done! BTW haffy, I'm surprised you didnt think of an answer for number 26
