Summary: Love of horses for this book as a gem!!!
Review: I love Black Beauty (Great Illustrated Classics) & I love Black Beauty & horses & the color blackI will sometime get the new Black Beauty book Illustrated by Tom LaPadula... This book is adapted by Deidre S. Laiken & the cover illustration is by Rick Whipple... Black Beauty could be a black quarter horse with a white star & a white foot. In Chapter 15. called "Our New Home", there is a picture on page 127 & the picture is John says Good-bye. John Manly is saying goodbye to Black Beauty & Ginger. John Manly goes around to Black Beauty & Ginger in a soft loving voice. Then John sounded very sad because he would miss Black Beauty & Ginger & it reminds me of Darryl Worley's song called "I miss my friend" & it makes me sad because it is probably about missing a friend. It could be on vacation & it could be other places.
Black Beauty holds his face close to John, & was the only way he could say good-bye. Before when Mr. Manly was gone, Black Beauty never saw him again. My favorite chapter is called "My Last Home" because Joe Green & Black Beauty are home again together at Farmer Thoroughgood's place... Black Beauty tells the story of his life & Black Beauty would be a roping horse, rodeo performer & more stuff. If Black Beauty was at a fight & they burned down the barn in the chapter the fire, the would take the horses out of the barn & the other 2 would be dead & Black Beauty & Ginger are still alive & not killed in the fire.
They people would fight outside the barn & land in the water where the horses drink & get all wet. I loved this book full of joy!!! I loved it!!!
