Editorial Review:

Product Description:
A handsome and sweet-tempered horse, Black Beauty is strong and spirited. His mother warns him that there are bad, cruel men in the world, but Black Beauty sees none of it in his fine, happy home. Until the day when he is sold, when his life changes immeasurably and he finally sees the truth in his mother’s words. As he moves from master to master, Beauty’s adventures will captivate readers, and June Brigman’s wonderful illustrations will capture their imaginations.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - great read for a reluctant reader
Very approachable; great easy-to-read story offering what i found to be a powerful moral message about kindess to animals specifically but easily empathizable across the species boundries.

For any reading this who know not the tale, suffice it to say this will be an excellent, pithy and tasty introduction. The story moves right along and the illustrations capture the spirit of the age and of the plucky steeds ... Read More
