Fifty Famous Stories Retold Paperback – March 15, 2010

Easy to read, interesting!

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.

If you purchase the audible version to go with the print book, know that the stories are not in the same order. Because the audible book compiles a number of stories into each chapter, it is impossible to find the stories you’d specifically like to hear. If you’re trying to read and listen stories that fit with specific points of history or skip specific stories that are dated, the audiobook will not help you do this.

We love these wonderful stories. Many my daughter remembers from Story of the World (:

Great table side book to read a story a day or a week…

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.

The book appears to have the complete collection of stories. I'll be using it for our homeschool.However, seven pages have replaced quotation marks and apostrophes with caret brackets. I'll be correcting those.

Wow, we love this book! It's short chapters that are easy for the kids to follow but SO well written. The kids and us parents love this book and the amazing stories we learn from it!

Good book, good quality printing.

50の短く美しい文章を読んでいるだけで楽しい。英語のAudibleと一緒に使うとヒアリングが改善されると期待。

Very adventurous short stories, creatively written. You can read along like you are part of a real life drama. I enjoyed the book and would recommend it to others. Thank you

These are time-tested stories. My kids have really enjoyed them.I was looking for a hard copy with illustrations after we read a free ebook version that had no pictures. Because Amazon groups all the reviews for different copies together, it was not clear to me that the edition I purchased was not illustrated, as other reviews mentioned illustrations. The cover with a funky orange and yellow pattern is just text, no illustrations.
