5.0 out of 5 stars What a wonderful book!, December 12, 2008

This review is from: The Secret Garden (Hardcover)

What a wonderful book! Gaby Goldsack has retold Frances Hodgson Burnett's story in about 26 pages (including illustrations) of clear and simple text that will be easy for a young reader to read and enjoy. The age level for the book is 4-8 and I think this book will be perfect for a parent to read to pre-schoolers too!

The included charm is a sweet little gold skeleton key (with a little red stone)on a necklace chain. I bought this book and 5 other Charm Book Classic books for my niece for Christmas this year. I plan to suggest to her that she can add a charm to the chain when she starts a new book. (IMO, the charms are too big for a charm bracelet). She will end up with a special reminder of her early reading years. I actually think it could make a great looking necklace that she can wear as a teen/adult.

There is a bookplate, the illustrations are wonderful, and the quality of the book is great. I think it's a fabulous way to introduce children to the classics!
