I sincerely believe that great stories engage readers of every age and that by familiarizing children with age-appropriate presentations these books will become friends to be revisited when older.Īround the World in 80 Days was a favorite story after I saw the movie version as a four-year-old child. Soon my son was reading the original books of his favorites. When our son was a child I happened upon abridged versions of the classics, presented in little paperback books. The Classics Illustrated Comic Books inspired me to read my favorite stories in the originals by age eleven. I know from personal experience the impact of introducing the great tales from literature to youngsters ages 2 to 6. ![]() ![]() I am personally excited by the Read-Aloud Classics from MoonDance Press. ![]()
