Do not buy this book...,

This review is from: Hans Brinker (Great Illustrated Classics) (Library Binding)
...if you have any affection for the original book or any respect for your child's intelligence. It is an offensively dumbed-down version of the classic. The soul and substance of this book have been surgically removed, the language simplified to second grade level, and the real-life messages and values so memorably presented by the original simply DELETED. The illustrations are of stiffly drawn, misproportioned coloring book figures. It is well worth waiting a couple years until your child is ready to read and enjoy and learn from the original version.

This is a SIMPLIFIED VERSION and not the original.,

This review is from: Hans Brinker (Great Illustrated Classics) (Library Binding)
Be aware that this is a SIMPLIFIED VERSION and not the original text. The original (which ...(this website) also sells) is much richer & more interesting; Ms. Dodge wrote it for the grade-school kids of the 1860s; my sibs & I enjoyed it as grade school kids in the 1950s; in my opinion, it is accessable to the grade-school kids of today. I'd give the original 5 stars.

Hans Brinker or the Silver Skates,
By A Customer
This review is from: Hans Brinker (Troll Illustrated Classics) (Paperback)
This book was written for many of us to read. It not only set the scene with great discriptions Mary Mapes Dodge had a true heart for her characters. They came directly from her heart and you could tell that by just the first few discriptions of her characters. The novel tells great experiences of Hans Brinker and others that help him complete his two goals. He was pictured to me as the perfect character for all of is actions. This book is highly recommended by me to read.
