Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, Aladdin, Sinbad the Sailor: these are just some of the strange and amazing stories that clever Scheherazade tells to captivate her husband, King Shahryar…and to save her own life. Each one is more fantastic than the last, filled with demons and dervishes, caliphs and genies, men transformed into dogs and monsters with eyes that glow. Like the king, children will find themselves enchanted by every tale.

Very entertaining -- but TOO abridged?
April 22 2010
By HEM6
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
Like Shahryar, my 6-year-old son kept asking for another fascinating tale each night...
I've never read the original but this certainly did seem abbreviated -- we were bummed when we finished it in a few days.
I love these Classic Starts and have read many of them with my son. They are good for just an entertaining book in the short term -- and may turn kids on to the longer version in the longer-term. The chapters are very short if you really just want to read for a few minutes; and it's easy to read several in a sitting. I'd say Arabian Nights has been one of my son's favorites so far. The tales in this volume are quite different from the typical reads for this age group and my son was enthralled.

4th graders liked it

The 4th grade class that read this book enjoyed it. They had questions about genii and the like after reading certain chapters... Having not read the unabridged I can't comment on the authenticity.

Classic Starts

Our teachers want some early classics to tempt their readers to read the original versions. The Classic Starts series is perfect for them and packaged in a way that the kids like. Plus, with Amazon's get 4 for 3 offer, the books are VERY affordable.
