BigMamaBird Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Can you recommend an illustrated edition of The Hobbit? I'd like my kids to have the artwork to look at while I read it aloud. I've checked out a few on Amazon, but thought I'd get your opinions first. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Dd LOVES comic books and would really like a graphic novel version. I'd have to lock it up to keep her from reading ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigMamaBird Posted September 24, 2012 Author Share Posted September 24, 2012 Stacia, that's beautiful!! Thanks for posting, I think we'll be picking that one up immediately! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbmamaz Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Hmmm. This book on amazon is the same cover picture as the version I got from my library, but the reviews are not for the same version, apparently? The illustrator's website has some pictures i have to admit, the words are so small i have trouble reading it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
