The Princess and the Pony turns stereotypical situations up-side-down. Princess Pinecone is a "strong female character," and a warrior.[4] She wants a warhorse for her birthday, but instead gets a very cute pony.[5] The pony is flatulent and Princess Pinecone is very unhappy with it at first.[6] Princess Pinecone can't teach it to fight in battle and despite this, she enters it in a tournament where the other warriors are won over by the pony's cute antics.[4] The story is meant to be humorous.[7] The Quill & Quire called the illustrations in the book "inclusive" because of Princess Pinecone's mixed heritage and that the warriors in the story are in "all shapes, sizes, colours and ages."[8]
Pinecone & Pony, an animated series based on the book produced by DreamWorks Animation Television was released on April 8, 2022, on Apple TV+.[9]
