Trot a mile in my shoes!
What does the world look like through the eye of a horse? This classic story will tell you all that and more. Black Beauty relates his tale from the time he is young living in a meadow with his mom, to the time he is a much older horse, and alone. During that time, Beauty faces all kinds of situations from the very best to the worse along with many things in between. 
Horse lovers, of course, will adore this story, however anyone will enjoy this book. From the first page, you will be drawn into Beauty’s saga and wonder how he will face the different situations he finds himself in. No matter what life throws his way, Beauty remains undiscouraged. Even the cruel things he faces do not cause him to become bitter or to dislike humans.
This rendition of the book is beautiful, substantial and has a nice hard-backed cover. High quality paper is used for the pages along with lovely color illustrations generously sprinkled throughout the volume–making this a great gift for others, or yourself. 
The story itself is timeless. Love of animals and fair treatment are understood as well today as they were when it was first published. This work was the lifetime achievement of the author, an invalid who relied on horses to carry her. Because of that, she developed a love for them, and became a champion for equine fair treatment. Teens through adults will enjoy this 5-star book, as well as, younger children, although it would need to be read to them. I recommend it.
