Fifty famous stories retold Paperback – June 2, 2017

My kiddos love these stories. I’ve read through this book maybe 10 times throughout my homeschool career. I just finally decided to get the hard copy. I have the E-book and it was getting is by. There’s nothing like a hard copy.

The Living Book Press copy is awesome! Buy it! Large, clean font with original pictures. Super easy to read. The content itself is very enjoyable. My 6yo loves the stories (and so do I). Short, but memorable stories that introduce children to timeless stories in history.

Easy to read, interesting!

Once you become accustom to the short (occasionally unfulfilling blurbs) of stories, it grows more and more to become an enjoyable book. I believe it boils down to a preference of having a timeline and through explanations. If you are looking for a way to wet your palate, this is it.

Using for my AO curriculum homeschooling.

The Living Books Press edition of this book is beautiful. Sturdy cover, reminds me of the classic Penguin books. Feels like a quality book that will last thru many readings.We read aloud a lot (1000+ picture books a year). The stories were so engaging that even my 3yo sat thru them.

This book is absolutely fantastic. Highly recommend for the content. However, this edition is just okay. The print is small. It looks almost exactly like a Yesterday's Classics edition by the cover but it is not and definitely lower quality.

Note: I always forget that Amazon lumps all the reviews of the same book together, no matter the edition. My review is specifically regarding the Living Book Press edition.Excellent quality! I'm using this book as part of my homeschool year. So many reprinted public domain books use OCR and are full of errors; this one was obviously put together with care and attention to detail. As an Ambleside Online user, I appreciate that the editor rearranged the stories in the order they are used throughout the school year.
