Book Reviews of PETER PAN (GREAT ILLUSTRATED CLASSICS)
Book Review: I Believe....
Summary: 5 Stars
This review refers to the Great Illustrated Classics of "Peter Pan" by J.M. Barrie, adapted for young readers by Marian Leighton...
Great Illustrated Classics is a great way to go when introducing young readers to the great literature out there. The stories are timeless, the print is large and there is an illustration on every page next to a printed page. It makes it a real treat, instead of a chore, and kids may be more inclined to pick up the books with this easier read.
Peter Pan is a classic kid's adventure(although reading it again recently, I found I still get caught up in the story and the marvelous characters myself), that has all the elements needed for a fun and exciting read. You know the story, Peter, the boy who never wants to grow up(I know how he feels), takes Wendy, John, and Michael to Neverland, home of the lost boys, where no one every grows up and adventures with scary Pirates, Indians, Mermaids, and a brooding fairy named Tinkerbell, fill the pages. I love the part where the readers are asked to clap their hands if they believe in fairies, to help Tink recover from the poison she drinks to save Peter.
It's a book that is a great to read together and out loud. There is some violence, so may not be suited for very young children, but a classic that should be read by all who want to be taken away to Neverland...even if just for a little while.
It's a wonderfully adapted edition for kids and the illustrations are marvelous.For another must have illustrated classic for kids,:Frankenstein (Great Illustrated Classics), see my review of that edition dated 11/28/06.
Peter Pan...for those forever young and young at heart. Adventure, Fantasy and a few life lessons to be learned with the read.
If you believe..clap your hands..don't let "Tink" die!....Laurie
