Fun Bedtime Story

Both kids were drawn into the tales of Robin Hood, and would laugh at his wit, as I read a bit to them each night.

The Classic Starts omit a lot of chapters and bring the language down more than I thought they would. But it makes sense being a "starter" type book. I am using these in a homeschool setting where my kids make lapbooks to go along with the story. They really enjoy it. Also, it's a great size for little ones to hold while you're reading together. Oh and just in case this might bother you, I'd like to mention that mine did arrive with the hardcover corners bent up. I bought several classic start titles at once and they all were received in similar condition.

Classic Starts: The Adventures of Robin Hood (Classic Starts Series)

I ordered this because my 4 year old was fascinated by Robin Hood. He heard about Robin Hood and asked who is that? I told him some roughly recalled stories but I wanted to find more info for him. However this book is for much older kids. I realized once I received it and started reading. We will save it until he gets older. It is a lengthy book with some gruesome details about killing. My boy is too young for that kind of information. Maybe a boy of 8 or 9 would enjoy it. It is a bit frightening for us right now. No illustrations. It is well written. I think children can benefit from classics and I applaud this series. I am not sure if the information mentioned what age this would be appropriate for. I just took a chance.

VERY different from the original, missing main characters and plot lines. Extremely disappointed.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 31, 2022

Verified Purchase

This is not an abridged version. The stories are very different from the original book, and this version completely omits main characters like Marian and Prince John (who is specifically mentioned in the description!!) I got this book to read with my young kids and was extremely disappointed. It is like a completely different, far inferior version of a classic. I wish I had known and I am puzzled by other reviews that gave this book 5 stars. I am guessing those people have not read the original book, which I hands-down recommend over this one.

My son is 7 and really loved this story, he can read it himself, but enjoyed it when we read it together too. I loved reading it as well. Well written, some good illustrations too, but not too many.

Great way to have your younger kids read the great classics without being scared to bits. My 7 year old son loves this so much he gave his copy to his best friend and I had to buy him another!

This bok was bought for a little boy who was going for a holiday in Sherwood forest. It was just above his reading level and so had to be read to him but he loved it! He is 5 years old.
