101 Read-Aloud Classics: Ten-Minute Readings from the World's Best-Loved Children's Books

JUST THE FACT THAT MY 10 YEAR OLD LIKES READING IT, SAYS IT ALL. BEST READER I HAVE FOUND FOR KIDS, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.

I bought this book and its counterpart (101 More Read-Aloud Classics) to use as the foundational texts for my Kindergarten literature homeschool curriculum. The stories are from real "living" books, not dumbed-down consumer twaddle. And, because the book includes only short excerpts, the child gets exposure to many more literary styles within a single academic year than would be possible if one attempted to read the entirety of each novel. I believe in the necessity of reading quality literature and whole books to young children. Still, this book gives a wonderful introduction to literature and can be used as a springboard to lifelong enjoyment of great books.

This book is great for those people who are trying to find a good book to read. There are chapters from some of the most-loved classic novels like Little Women. Some of the tales are short stories like the Elephant's Child. This book made me read most of the 101 classics. It is very good as a gift,also. This book is worth all your monery!

My daughter actually looks forward to 'curling up' early, just to hear a story. Her imagination has grown,(sometimes too much, if that's possible) but also her ability to reason on why people may act/react the way they do. Don't get me wrong, this book is also just plain fun. I like to read the stories and much as she likes to hear them. This kind of book will definitely make those special times happen between you and your child, it has for me.

A wonderful selection of chapters from great books for kids! Sort of like the "bathroom books" series for kids, because it offers a glimpse of each story. I also love the wide range of stories, so as a browsing selection it is great...makes a wonderful choice for bedtime reading, classroom booktalks, or group reading
