![]() ![]() All of the importany factors were there with just enough detail of the horses feelings for a child to understand without being overwhelmed.Īuthor: Anna Sewell, Retold by Sharon Lerner ![]() Merrylegs and Ginger were included along with the important people, good and bad, that Black Beauty came into contact with. This stayed very true to the adult book also. ![]() Susan Jeffers did a fantastic job on the illustrations too - Black Beauty, along with the rest of the horses, were all absolutely beautiful. ![]() She'll soon be on to books this length though so that wasn't a distraction for us. This is definitely age appropriate but a little longer than what Julia's used to at the moment. I truly believe this is a very meaningful story and I'm so happy that Sharon Lerner must agree and must think it's important for the story to be introduced to children as soon as possible. I'm saving a copy of the adult Black Beauty for when she's old enough and I can only hope she enjoys it like I did. I was so happy to find this at the library! I was even more happy to see how thrilled Julia was to find it! Since I reread this only a few weeks ago and had mentioned the book to her she remembered and I was able to keep the talk going. ![]()
