Black Beauty

Sewell, Anna. Black Beauty. Sterling Publishing. ISBN 978-1402714528

Have you ever wanted your own black stallion? Here is the tale of one beautiful horse that is transferred from owner to owner. Told here, by Black Beauty, the story unfolds as somewhat tragic. Black Beauty suffers an awful fall and thus kills the man who is riding him. Afterward, Black Beauty is sold a few times but eventually comes to a boy and his grandfather for some TLC and a different life indeed.

This classic story is wonderful for any tween that loves animals, and more specifically horses. It is well-written and this illustrated versions offers some wonderful drawings/pictures. The book provides an emotional roller coaster at times and this is part in parcel of what has made it such a beloved tale.
