First penned in 1820, Washington Irving's humorous, yet haunting, narrative tells of a local schoolmaster whose lonely trot home turns into a night of fright when he is met on the road by the Headless Horseman. Adapted here for younger readers and accompanied by rich acrylics, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow endures as the finest of American ghost stories.

Enjoyable,

This review is from: The Legend of Sleepy Hollow (Hardcover)
This version of Irving's tale is designed for younger children. The illustrations are lovely--not scary at all. I do think, however, that the text is a little long for a 4 year old to sit through, especially since some of the vocabulary and sentence structure is a bit advanced. I'd say this was appropriate for 6 and up.

This review is from: The Legend of Sleepy Hollow (Hardcover)
I love this classic story but I'm not crazy about this version. I wanted a children's version and this one was just a little on the boring side. The art is well done but again not for children.
