The Roly-Poly Flying Pony Adventure series follows Kevin, a magical flying pony with a round shape and an appetite for biscuits. When Kevin crash-lands in Max’s garden, the two become friends and embark on adventures that typically involve food, flying, and foiling plans of various antagonists.

Philip Reeve writes the stories while Sarah McIntyre provides the illustrations, continuing their successful partnership on books for younger readers. The Kevin books are shorter and simpler than their Not-So-Impossible Tales, making them accessible to early readers or perfect for bedtime read-alouds. The humor comes from Kevin’s personality and the absurd situations he and Max find themselves in.
