aabuller Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 I'm hoping for some feedback from those of you who have used easy abridged versions of the classics. We have several different versions available at our library, but not necessarily the ones recommended in TWTM. Are any of these worth our time? Calico illustrated classics Classic starts Eyewitness classics Stepping stone Classic starts Step into classics Great Illustrated classics Specifically interested in these titles: Robinson Crusoe Gulliver's Travels Pilgrim's Progress Hunchback of Notre Dame Les Miserables The Three Musketeers Man in the Iron Mask A Christmas Carol Great Expectations Oliver Twist Tow Sawyer The Last of the Mohicans 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea Moby Dick I would rather not buy the specific recommended versions if what our library has is just as good.

Caviar Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Classic Starts and Great Illustrated Classics. We really like Great Illustrated Classics because they have lots of drawings (black and white), short chapters, and are great for read alouds (especially for getting a book done quickly - I, myself, can't stand a book with loads of descriptive sentences that go on and on), but also simple enough for a child to read. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
