Fifty famous stories retold

Easy to read, interesting!

My kiddos love these stories. I’ve read through this book maybe 10 times throughout my homeschool career. I just finally decided to get the hard copy. I have the E-book and it was getting is by. There’s nothing like a hard copy.

Using for my AO curriculum homeschooling.

Once you become accustom to the short (occasionally unfulfilling blurbs) of stories, it grows more and more to become an enjoyable book. I believe it boils down to a preference of having a timeline and through explanations. If you are looking for a way to wet your palate, this is it.

The Living Books Press edition of this book is beautiful. Sturdy cover, reminds me of the classic Penguin books. Feels like a quality book that will last thru many readings.We read aloud a lot (1000+ picture books a year). The stories were so engaging that even my 3yo sat thru them.

We love these wonderful stories. Many my daughter remembers from Story of the World (:

Great table side book to read a story a day or a week…

I bought this thinking, "James Baldwin did a book for kids? I'll be darned."A man also named James Baldwin MAY have edited this collection of tales (there is no 'about the author'), but it was NOT the American civil rights activist.This is one of those done-on-a-home-computer publications. The tales are only about 2 pages long, and most of them have an illustration (black and white).For the price, it seems like a decent book for kids.

Wow, we love this book! It's short chapters that are easy for the kids to follow but SO well written. The kids and us parents love this book and the amazing stories we learn from it!

Very adventurous short stories, creatively written. You can read along like you are part of a real life drama. I enjoyed the book and would recommend it to others. Thank you

Good book, good quality printing.

These are time-tested stories. My kids have really enjoyed them.I was looking for a hard copy with illustrations after we read a free ebook version that had no pictures. Because Amazon groups all the reviews for different copies together, it was not clear to me that the edition I purchased was not illustrated, as other reviews mentioned illustrations. The cover with a funky orange and yellow pattern is just text, no illustrations.
