I Must Clarify Other Review, Dec 22 2008
By T. Watson "Terpsichore" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Black Stallion (Hardcover)
I left a comment for the other review, but I feel so strongly that his one-star rating could possibly affect someone's decision to buy this book that I had to post a review of my own. The Black Stallion is a WONDERFUL book, in fact, my all-time favorite childhood book, even over the old classic, Black Beauty (which is way too depressing for children, in my opinion). For a very young child, begin with Big Black Horse---also by Walter Farley and when the kids are old enough, buy The Black Stallion. The only caveat I have for parents is: get ready for the "I want a black stallion of my own!!" refrain once they've read these books.I don't know what became of my original books, but I re-ordered them as an adult and have them sitting proudly on the shelves in my library. That's the impact the books will have on your children! And buy the movie for them, too, while you're at it.

Best children's horse story, July 25 2009
By Jean Fisher - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Black Stallion (Hardcover)
I just had to say something about the other two reviews for this book. This hardback version is the original and does have illustrations and very beautiful ones at that. The reviewer that said there were no illustrations was mistaken and most likely meant the paper-back version. I am in my seventies and read this book as a child. It started my ever- long interest in horses and I still think it is one of the best books ever written about horses. I just bought a copy for my eight-year-old niece and know she will love it as I did. Buy this version if you want illustrations.

A classic book, May 9 2007
By Aidan's Mom - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Black Stallion (Hardcover)
I read this book for the first time almost 25 years ago. It quickly became one of my favorites and I started collecting the others in the series. I was very suprised to open a box of books last year and find that I still had all of the originals! This book is the classic, timeless story of the relationship between a lonely boy and the wild stallion he comes to love. I would recommend it for any tween or teenage child.
