“All children grow up. All except one.” That special child is Peter Pan, and since making his debut on the stage in 1904, this eternal youth has carried boys and girls off to magical, marvelous Neverland. It’s a trip that all kids want to make, and with this easy-to-read version of the classic, everyone can fly “second to the right, and straight on till morning” with Peter. Along with Wendy, John, and Michael Darling, they’ll meet the fairy Tinkerbell, the Lost Boys, and the menacing Captain Hook.

This version is ideal for younger/beginning readers,
This review is from: Classic Starts: Peter Pan (Classic Starts Series) (Hardcover)
Peter Pan is one of those books that you pick up and don't want to put down. On her last night in the family nursery Wendy is told that she will now have a room of her own and that it is time that she grew up. Her mother is a romantic, dreamy sort who to me seemed a little
scatterbrained however from Barrie's description tends to be budget aware like Mr Darling as they are both very poor and trying to live up to the standards of the neighbors - hence Nana the "nurse" (a St Bernard). The actual story and the introduction of Peter Pan takes place on the last night of Wendy's stay in the nursery. Peter arrives to hear one of her stories (about him of course) and upon hearing of her delemma ends up teaching Wendy and her brothers, John and Michael, how to fly and then takes them to Neverland. As the story goes on you meet "The Lost Boys", Hook the Pirate, a tribe of Indians and many more characters. There are parts of the book that of course never made it in the movies - it would be much too long if they did. As always I strongly encourage parents to read the classics (the original if your kids will listen to them). Disney doesn't tend to stay on script and much of the story is left out. Your kid's should definitely hear the story in it's entirety. The Classic Starts version is ideal for younger readers, Puffin or Sterling are better for kids 8-11.

This review is from: Classic Starts: Peter Pan (Classic Starts Series) (Hardcover)
I never knew about the Classic Starts series. What a wonderful idea! We have only read Peter Pan so far, but it is a gem. Wonderfully retold, a few nice illustrations. I would guess that this is about the 3rd or 4th grade reading level. It doesn't capture the attention of my 4-year old but my 7-year old loves it. Can't wait to try some of the others.
