This is a great book for young children!
I grew up reading the Narnia books, and I was thrilled to find this beautifully illustrated child's version! My 4 year old son loves for us to read this book to him as well as the other two Narnia books illustrated by Deborah Maze. Keep in mind that this book is only a small portion of the original book, "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe." With that in...

One big rehash
Do not read if you've read The Lion, the Witch and The Wardrobe! This is just Edmund's point of view of it (as the title proves).

This review is from: Edmund and the White Witch (The World of Narnia) (Hardcover)
I grew up reading the Narnia books, and I was thrilled to find this beautifully illustrated child's version! My 4 year old son loves for us to read this book to him as well as the other two Narnia books illustrated by Deborah Maze. Keep in mind that this book is only a small portion of the original book, "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe." With that in mind, sit down with a little one and enjoy the story and the incredible, detailed drawings from the world of Narnia!

This review is from: Edmund and the White Witch (The World of Narnia) (Hardcover)
As a teacher of reading and writing, I've discovered a very popular lesson among students of all ages: write a known story from a different point of view. The protagonist of this children's book is The Traitor, Edmund, but it is a different Edmund than the one we're used to, a different one from the one portrayed in the recently-released film. Edmund has always been an easy target for castigation, but this literary rendition beautifully illustrates the teaching that we should not be so quick to judge. Perhaps this rendition prepares our path to forgiveness -- a path that C.S. Lewis tried to forge.

You can also see my review of Aslan, another picture book in this series. The entire series is just wonderful. The text is pure Lewis - all excerpts from the original text. Maze is very true to his descriptions in her illustrations. My daughters love the original novels and they love these books as well! The only concern for this particular book is that some of the illustrations can be a little scary for a sensitive child. The witch is evil but beautiful. Her cohorts are evil and many are gruesome.

Edmund and The White Witch,
By "girlsmom" (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Edmund and the White Witch (The World of Narnia) (Hardcover)
Absolutely a wonderful adaptation of the original for younger readers. I have younger kids, ages 5 & 7 and they love this book and the others like it. It is a good book for "Transitional" readers in the 1st and 2nd grade. I just love the fact I can share these wonderful stories with them!
