Big Cat Sapphire Black Beauty

A retelling of Anna Sewell’s classic adventure story of Black Beauty as he
starts life carefree in the field with his mother, and is then sold from owner
to owner. Will he survive as his treatment gets worse and worse, and will he
ever find an owner worthy of his unending loyalty? Sapphire/Band 16 books offer
longer reads to develop children’s sustained engagement with texts and are more
complex syntactically.
