This was a fun addition to my library as it was a childhood favorite. This was a lovely edition, beautifully printed and bound. The seller packed to be sure it arrived in the same great shape it was in when it was sold too. I am very pleased with the book and the seller.
Entertaining 
2007-10-23
Not up to par with the Disney classics, of course, but entertaining enough and of decent quality. Good for students learning Spanish.
My 3 y.o has watched it several times even though he's not into horses, so I guess he likes it well enough.
I would say that girls would like it better.
A timeless story 2007-09-27
Black Beauty is the story of a horse and possibly one of the best-loved animal stories of all time, except for perhaps Old Yeller. This novel will inspire young readers to be kind and compassionate to animals. It will teach young readers to treat everyone with kidness and respect.

Behind Black Beauty 2007-06-05
As a young horse, Black Beauty is well-loved and happy. But when his owner is forced to sell him, his life changes drastically. He has many new owners--some of them cruel and some of them kind. All he needs is someone to love him again...Whether pulling an elegant carriage or a ramshackle cab, Black Beauty tries to live as best he can. This is his amazing story, told as only he could tell it.
Waste of Money, even the little cost that it is

This is a terrible version with too many liberties taken by the writer. The "adaptations" make it nearly unrecognizable after reading the book. My son and I spent weeks reading the classic book and were excited to see the movie. He was confused by the changes and disappointed in the missing parts of the story. Don't bother with this one.

Black Beauty is one of the best books of all time. It's a very heart filled and emotional story. What I loved about this book was that it taught me that even in times of trouble there is always hope. Everyone should enjoy reading this book. Even if you do get emotional, keep reading! You'll understand what I'm saying when you finish the book.

Black Beauty is an awesome book that you should enjoy reading.The author of " Black Beauty " is Ann Sewell.It's about a horse and he trys to be a loyal horse and trys to please his owner. It's really good because he is rasied by one family and then that family passes him on to another family and another family,so he just gets passed down from a whole bunch of people and he trys to please them as he goes.So this book would be a good book for all of you horse crazy kids!
From the horses Mouth 2006-10-25
Black Beauty, by Anna Sewell, is one of the best-loved animal novels of all time. Black Beauty is a moving story of a horse's life, told in the horse's own words. As the reader accompanies Black Beauty through life's adventures, a powerful message is presented: Treat both humans and animals alike with kindness and respect. Black Beauty's mother taught him early in life that there are many different kinds of men.
"There are a great many kinds of men; there are good, thoughtful men like our master, that any horse may be proud to serve; but there are bad, cruel men, who never ought to have a horse or dog to call their own. Beside, there are a great many foolish men, vain, ignorant, and careless, who never trouble themselves to think; these spoil more horses than all, just for the want of sense; they don't mean it, but they do it for all that. I hope you fall into good hands; but a horse never knows who may buy him, or who may drive him; it is all a chance for us, but still I say, do your best wherever it is, and keep up your good name."
This classic tale inspired me, and I think it will inspire you aswell, to always be kind and compassionate to my animals, and care for them the best I can.
