Black Beauty by Anna Sewell is a classic story of a horse’s life from his own perspective, and the wonderful and terrible things that he witnesses and endures at the hands of various people. Not a particularly long story, this novel would be perfect for a student in early Middle Years or used for shared reading to a younger audience.
Willy the Wimp by Anthony Browne is a favourite picture book of mine. Browne’s character illustrations portray, like many of his picture books, chimpanzees and gorillas living, acting and talking as humans. The text is simplistic but the context-related humour in the story is best suited to students aged 7 to 10 years.
