I got this for a 10 year old and he devoured it. It covers the story of Arthur in a way that is easy for 10 year old, but not overly simplistic. Great tone and pace. All of these "Classic Starts" books introduce kids to some of the all time great stories in an interesting way.
I purchased this book because my 4 year old son is very interested in knights. I read this book to him, and my three year old daughter, a couple pages at a time and they loved it. The book is well written and I like that it does not dumb down the language. I had to explain what a couple words meant here and there but for the most part they understood. This turned or to be a great purchase.
This sturdily contructed hardcover classic adaptation is an excellent addition to a young reader's library. The illustrations stay in the style of the story and the language is accessible without talking down to its young audience.We have a growing collection of the "Classic Starts" books. Love this series. They are keepers for our homeschooling library. My older kids can easily read them on their own or to their younger siblings.
The whole series of Classic Starts is extremely well written for young readers. My son loves it so much that he is hooked on to classics. I am indeed thankful for these versions and how they can provide an abridged versions of such voluminous works to one that catches a young reader's interest. I recommend the whole series of Classic Starts to all children who want a head start into classic reads.
Good for an eight or nine year old (or older, depending on the child). My grandson loved reading it himself, but if you were reading it to your eight year old you might want to consider Pyle's version which this is Not. I thought it was. But it's a version of Pyle's version.
I know a lot of people don't care for these books because they say they're dumbed down. For older kids, probably true. But I think they're great starters for our 4 year old son. I'm hoping by reading these he will want to read the original classics when he's older.
This is a great book for children. Your child can be exposed to the King Arthur legends in simpler language than the original books. You can either read these aloud as bedtime stories or have your second through fourth grader read them on their own.
kids entering elementary school can read, but usually hate to do or feel bored. The challenge is to find the correct books.Unlike the full version which is obviously boring, this simplified version was very suitable for beginners for their life long love of books. Recommended
