Had me crying like a baby...

Got my mom to buy it for me as a present because I really liked my old copy, it was theifted and it was like a beige frame with a drawn black horse?? The one I have right now is ugly and big but whatever. I want to read it again because I'm pretty sure I liked it during my childhood

This book was so good! It's a great reminder of the feelings that animals have, and that we should care how we treat them. Though it was a little slow-paced, most classics are. I appreciate how the book followed the majority of Black Beauty's life. It does have a happy ending. I like the recurring characters. It was a very realistic book that didn't shy away from how horses were treated during the time period. Black Beauty was an easy character to root for. If you care about animals, you should read this book. 

I've been reading and re-reading this book since I was a child. Every time, I get something new from it. As an animal lover and as a horse owner, I will always love this book.

Fond memories of one of my favourite childhood films made me pick this up, and I can’t believe I didn’t know it was written from the POV of Black Beauty! Why do animal books all have to be so sad. A touching story and nice to throw myself back to when I was a “horse girl”! 

One of the best books I had ever read,
It a very sensitive book that touches the heart of the reader
So the book talks from the horse’s perspective and shows us how horse’s and other animals feel and shine the light on how cruel and cold-hearted humans some time can be and I learned a lot of thing about horses.

One of my favorite books when I was in middle school. I think I read it at least 15 times.

Breaking my heart over and over
