Black Beauty : The Autobiography of a Horse (Books of Wonder)
$15.40 - Save 30% off this beautiful edition of a timeless classic!! A horse is a horse of course unless of course the horse is Black Beauty. Animal-loving children have been devoted to Black Beauty throughout this century, and no doubt will continue through the next. Although Anna Sewell's classic paints a clear picture of turn-of-the-century London, its message is universal and timeless: animals will serve humans well if they are treated with consideration and kindness.

Classic Horse Stories
$3.96 - Save 20% off list price! For ages 9-12. What do you think Buffalo Bill's horse thought about? And what kind of luck would you suppose a horse's skull would bring? Mark Twain's "A Horse's Tale" and a galloping adventure in the Gobi Desert told by Paul Morand might hold the answers. These are just two of the classic stories in this romping, stomping collection of terrific horse tales, written by some of the masters of storytelling.
