Help remembering an animal-mystical-fantasy book series?

Question

i'm trying to remember the titles of some books i read when i was in elementary school...the books were in a series, no story really related to another, that was this colorful fantasy book series, and the stories all had moral themes...each book would be centered on one character...and would take place in like a mystical forest-area where animals could talk. the illustrations were really well done. the books were always soft cover, not that big...and the titles i'm pretty sure were just the name of the main character for that book.

one story i remember was about a really pretty pony with hair that another animal wanted, and that other animal would give that horse some kind of food for his hair, and each time, the food would be less, or something like that. the pony didn't like it, and told the other animal to stop, and the other animal just pulled its hair. other animals stepped in or something...

please help! thanks!

Answer 1

is it metamorphis? or metamorphsics or something like that? thats the only thing that i can think of. where people were evolving into animals on every cover. the books were always soft cover as I remember.  

Answer 2

but maybe your talking about the one written by marge and pat mcdonald or someone like that?  i think i got that name off.

Answer 3

I think you are recalling the Serendipity series by Stephen Cosgrove--very cute illustrations, moral tales, mystical creatures like unicorns, winged horses and etc....

There were literally scores and scores of these books... so not sure how you can ID the exact title of the horse one you mentioned but check this site

to see if those look like the type of covers you recall....they were always paperbacks and not too large.

If you want an exhaustive list of the books by Cosgrove google his author website and see all 325 titles. : )
