I think Black Beauty is a good story but sad. Poor Black Beauty. All she does is work!

What a wonderful book! Sandy Ransford has retold Anna Sewell's story in about 24 pages (including illustrations)- in clear and simple text that will be easy for a young reader to read and enjoy. The age level for the book is 4-8 and I think this book will be perfect for a parent to read to pre-schoolers too!

The little silver horse charm on a necklace chain is well, charming (please pardon the pun). I bought this book and 5 other Charm Book Classic books for my niece for Christmas this year. I plan to suggest to her that she can add a charm to the chain when she starts a new book. (The charms are too big for a charm bracelet). She will end up with a special reminder of her early reading years. I actually think it could make a great looking necklace that she can wear as a teen/adult.

There is a bookplate, the illustrations are wonderful, and the quality of the book is great. I think it's a fabulous way to introduce children to the classics!
