Book Reviews of Treasure Island (The Illus Children's Library)
Book Review: A classic my 5 year-old requested - Glad she did.
Summary: 5 Stars
A chapter a night and it was thrilling. I had never read this or had it read to me as a child. She was enjoying the movie, "Muppets Treasure Island" and was asking about the characters. I mentioned the original book and she wanted me to get it for her - the original with the original pictures. This is what I ordered and she and I have really enjoyed reading this classic.
I have to admit, reading it aloud is a bit of a challenge with the original version, silently is much easier - I don't get tounge-tied. It's been worth the "struglle." She laughs at the old words and asks what they mean. This slows it down a bit -- but adds to her enjoyment and understanding. It makes me happy she takes such an interest in the original version and learning more about the quirky English language.
I would highly recommend this to add to your family's collection.
