A horse's life can be filled with love and tenderness. It can also be filled with meanness and cruelty. Black Beauty learns both sides of life in this classic tale by Anna Sewell.

I read this with my 8-year-old daughter, Kynthia, over the course of about 5 months. I've never been into animal stories but I did enjoy that special time with her. (
