Customer Reviews
Good book
It is a very good book but it kept getting my books mixed up with other books like another black Beauty that I didn’t even download but I enjoyed the book before it started to do this 🙂
Black Beauty
As a teacher, librarian and book collector, I have seen or read thousands of books, and I must say, this presentation of Black Beauty is one of the most beautiful that I have seen. I am sure that all parents, grandparents, teachers and children alike will be en-riched and delighted by reading this endearing and timeless classic. I also feel very good about recommending this book because half the proceeds are donated to the care of horses and horses helping those with disabilities.
Black Beauty, The Autobiography Of A Horse
I remember reading Black Beauty when I was a young girl. I fell in love with Black Beauty and read the book over and over again. I think it made me even more horse-crazy than I was. I was delighted to find an iPad version of this classic horse story. The illustrations in the book are gorgeous and really enhance the reading experience - so much better than a plain text version. There are lots of beautiful details that give the book a wonderful vintage feel that is just right for a story that takes place in England in the 1800's.
I can't recommend this version of Black Beauty enough - it's beautifully done. The story is compelling and is great for teaching kindness towards animals (and humans too); perfect for reading to your children or for a child to read on their own.
