kellian901 's review for:
Black Beauty
by Anna Sewell
This was a beautiful story for any age reader, though I think it is intended for older children. I've had it on my shelf for decades as part of a classic collection, and am I ever glad I finally picked it up!
I loved that it was written from Black Beauty's point of view and that the story is relayed as he hears it/experiences it, and even though he doesn't always understand, the reader does. It's not a complex plot, but it is eye opening! I've never been terribly fond of horses, but I will never look at them the same way again.
I highly recommend it, even if you're not an animal-lover. (And if you are, be sure to have some tissues at hand!) The lessons of respect and kindness to all creatures are invaluable.
