Winni Allfours is a 1995 book by British children’s author Babette Cole, writer of certain popular kindergarten stories (Supermoo, Princess Smartypants and Prince Cinders) which are known for adding a zany twist to familiar elements from fairy tales or comic books.This story is a little different. The plot is simple.Winni Allfours is a girl who lives in the countryside and wants a pony more than anything in the world. But her parents don’t approve the idea and prefer enforcing their strict vegetarian lifestyle upon their daughter. When the school dinner lady comments that Winni “will turn into a horse” from eating so many vegetables, Winni decides to put her theory to the test, and sure enough, this works!Afterwards, things go uphill for Winni very fast as she trains to become a champion racehorse, under the guidance of Paddy O’Connor. The sneaking machinations of rival jockey Nobbler O’Toole don’t stop her from beating the world record and fulfilling her ambitions. Winni’s parents suggest she’ll turn back into a little girl by eating enough hamburger and chips, promising to buy her a pony. However, Winni declines, choosing to live her dreams as a horse instead. | |

| Winni Allfours / int_308ac24f | comment |
Fantasy-Forbidding Father: Winni's parents disapprove of her ever owning a pony, so Winni takes a different route and becomes a pony. They eventually come around to her owning a pony, but by then Winni chooses to stay since it's too much fun and she doesn't have to go to school. | |

Transformation Trauma: Averted by Winni. Her parents, however, don’t react well. Played for Laughs in that they’re horrified to see a horse ravaging their vegetable patch. | |

Transformation Sequence | |
| Winni Allfours / int_9657fe0f | comment |
Transformation Sequence: Two pages showing Winni’s gradual transformation from petite girl to chubby pony. Since it’s described as ‘slow,’ one wonders why nobody noticed until the transformation was complete. | |

Cool Horse: Take a guess. In addition to being a fast racer, Winni can also talk and drive cars. | |

The Ace: Winni. Not only does she win her first race, but she succeeds in beating the world record. Amazing what can happen in a kid’s book. | |

Unusually Uninteresting Sight | |
| Winni Allfours / int_d99a228f | comment |
Unusually Uninteresting Sight: Except for her parents, nobody is struck by a racehorse that was once a little girl – and still speaks, too. Justified in that Winni’s pony friend, Snowdrop, appears perfectly capable of communicating with her owner Paddy. Averted when Winni steals her kidnappers’ lorry. | |

Space Whale Aesop | |
| Winni Allfours / int_e8760868 | comment |
Space Whale Aesop: For children: Always eat your vegetables. Your parents may not always give you what you want, but it’s good to obey them, because you may get what you want… since you’ve been sneakily exploiting their demands to your own ends. And thing gets better from there! Once you’ve got what you wanted, don’t feel guilty about turning down your parents after that, because you’re having such fun! No school again, ever! For adults: Always grant your kid’s wishes. Avoid trying to impose something else on them. Not because perhaps you’re being narrow-minded… but because they’ll turn the tables on you, exploiting the very thing you wanted them to do. See that’s what happens. Your daughter wants a horse, but all you want is her to eat vegetables? She’ll eat them… to turn into a horse! | |

| Winni Allfours / int_f010eba7 | comment |
Plot-Irrelevant Villain: O’Toole has virtually no importance to the plot, other than to set up the above joke. Mr and Mrs Allfours’ refusal to sell Winni to him also shows that they’re not bad parents. | |
