Black Beauty is a novel that was originally meant for horse lovers, but it quickly became one of the
best-selling books of all time. It was written by author Anna Sewell during the last years of her life, with Sewell
dying just five months after its release. This novel addresses animal welfare and teaches its readers
how to treat people with kindness, sympathy, and respect.
The story tells the tale of Black Beauty, a sensitive and intelligent horse who shares a lifetime of his feelings,
hopes, and dreams. The story follows Black Beauty through his life of hard times, good times, and learning
life lessons. The novel is told from the horses' point of view and has memorable characters which help make it a delightful read!
As you proceed through the novel students will create a fun lap book to help solidify what they’ve learned through
reading.

antagonist, a story timeline, and a final book report on the novel.
