The book was told from Beautiful Joe‘s point of view. I enjoyed this, but it did get preachy at times. I agree with it all, but even so, it still felt a bit preachy. Many of the characters in the story were almost too good to be true, but at the same time, I think the book (originally published in 1893) was trying to teach kids not to be cruel to animals, they have feelings and feel pain, too. Interesting that it is actually a woman who wrote this

Thanks for the tag @TheSpineView !!

1. Storing book someplace where they are going to get musty!
2. I do enjoy them sometimes, but I think it's because I LOVED them when I was growing up, so many titles (like the tagged book) are intermingled with nostalgia!

TheAromaofBooks @Lcsmcat - Yes, like the dog version of Black Beauty! I reread it just a few years ago & enjoyed even now. Such an excellent book about the importance of being kind to animals. 4y

We had the matching Black Beauty, but my sister must have taken that one for her kids. #bookiveownedlongest #riotgrams @Liberty
