This book does not come with a charm!! But, it is still worth getting because it is one of my favorites! I have so many copies!!!
I have always, and will always, love this book!
When Black Beauty is just a young colt, his mother warns him that a horse's life is often difficult. and this strong, handsome horse soon meets wiht many adventures and all types of people- some kind and caring, others cruel and indifferent. but no matter what circumstances he encounters, nothing can break Black Beauty's spirit.
This is my all-time favorite story! There are several good life- lessons in this book teaching us how to be a good "horse" but better yet...a good person.
If u are a horse lover or a young reader this is a good book to read.
Be aware this version is abridged- the story is very much intact but some of the language has been softened and some scenes are missing.
This is a great children's classic! Good for horse lovers, too. Although older, the lessons of kindness and honesty are timeless. A book my kids will read!
Great book, wonderful!! Especially for animal/horse lovers. A great book for readers of all ages. Take a peek and hope you'll enjoy!!
Black Beauty is well loved and happy at Squire Gordon's. But when the kindly old squire is forced to sell his favorite thoroughbred, Black Beauty finds out whit it is like to live with cruel, uncaring grooms and masters who overwork him. After his knees are broken in a careless accident, Black Beauty is sold and re-sold. Then, one lucky day......
A classic that I'd recommend to anyone, especially young adults.
My 4 and 5 year old kids liked reading this with their dad. There were some depressing and mean parts of the book that were a little too young for them. It was an enjoyable story for them though.
about the life of a horse and all the owners mean and nice that it went through
This is a heart-felt story.
Anna Sewell did a awsome job writing this!
This is from the "Bring the Classics to Life" series; it contains vocabulary lists, student activity pages, and a very, very abridged text of the original novel.
I loved this story. It's a great classic!
***** A classic and wonderful story!
This children's book is sweet. It is from the perspective of a horse and all he goes through from the beginning of life to the end. At times it can be a tear jerker.
A classic tale, slightly toned down and put into text a younger reader will appreciate; a good way to hedge your child into the classics, which all children should learn to love and appreciate.
A beautifully told story of a horse told from the horses point of view. Starts soon after birth and follows the horses life through to old age. A timeless treasure. A great read aloud.
This is not only a horse lovers' classic but a classic children's story as well. Black Beauty has been extremely popular for over a century now. This tale of horse's life is inspiring and presents wonderful learning opportunities to teach children about morals, being kind & humane to animals AND people.
This version is the Illustrated Junior Classics hardcover. It contains many full color plates throughout. The illustrations are lovely.
This book is a wonderful enthralling story on the life of a horse called Black Beauty!
As a child, this was my favorite book. Well told & probably the all-time greatest children's horse story.
