Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
An abridged version of the ever-familiar "Aladdin" may attract readers to Deborah Nourse Lattimore's Arabian Nights: Three Tales, but the other two entries, "The Queen of the Serpents" and "Ubar, The Lost City of Brass," give a scintillating suggestion of the richness and complexity of Scheherazade's 1001 tales. Lushly colored pastels with hints of traditional Persian paintings pick out key scenes (HarperCollins/Cotler, $16.95, 64p, all ages ISBN 0-06-024585-9 Sept.).

From School Library Journal
Grade 3-6?Lattimore retells the traditional "Aladdin," the unusual "Queen of the Serpents," and the adventurous "Ubar, the Lost City of Brass." The paintings, done in dark, rich colors, are elaborate and detailed with folk motifs commonly found in Arabic fabrics, but on occasion the details are so overwhelming that the picture lacks focus. Lattimore is adept at depicting expression and is particularly successful with the Queen of the Serpents. A criticism of the book as a whole is the exclusion of the Scheherezade frame. Children will not have a context for the tales and their place in the thousand and one nights. For younger readers, perhaps these stories will lead them to a more in-depth collection. Share these tales as a read-aloud or offer them for an independent journey.?Cheri Estes, Detroit Country Day School Middle School, Beverly Hills, MI
