 Wonderful retelling of the story for younger kids January 2, 2007
My almost 6 year old really wanted to watch the movie but is prone to night mares so we said no. She was very interested in the story that she heard from friends and wanted to say she knew it too. We found this book and are both thrilled. It's a wonderful retelling of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. It takes less than 10 minutes to read out loud and the illustrations are fantastic, very beautiful. It's very true to the actual story, just shorter and ideal for younger kids. I'd say 4-7 old range. We highly recommend this book for the younger kids interested in Narnia but not yet ready for the longer chapter book or movie.
milestone in a life April 19, 2006
Everyone needs to buy the book Lion, Witch, and the Wardrobe the first in C.S. Lewis' series The Chronicles of Narnia. The story begins with the introduction of four children named Edmund, Lucy, Susan, and Peter. They have to move to a new house because of the air-raids in London during World War II. While playing hide and seek, Lucy, the youngest of the four, finds a wardrobe that leads her into another world. When she returns no one believes her tale. Then, one day all the children go into the wardrobe and end up on a wonderful adventure. In the journey the children try to save Narnia from the White Witch. Can they do it? Read this book to find out. People who like to read tales of magic and adventure will love this book.
Captivating January 18, 2006
My three year old daughter is captivated by this intriguing and beautifully illustrated rendition of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. This book has sparked her imagination beyond words! She talks about the "white witch" during the day, and the poor Mr. Tumnus turned to stone, and is enchanted by every page of this book. We read it every night, every single word. I do not find the text broken up and difficult to follow. The pauses that occur from one page to another allow discussion of the book and create eager anticipation! It has also sparked conversation about God. I really can't say enough good things and encourage all readers to delight in this fantastic fantasy.

For what you get, this is a good story. But, I thought I was buying the book in it's entirity. I guess I need to read between the lines.
 Great pictures, fine story, terrible writing August 15, 2005

I don't mind the truncation of the story. I don't think Aslan appears weak. But the writing is technically very poor. It is absolute ellipsis *hell*. Check out this unmodified passage from the first/second page (it has a nasty habit of splitting sentences across page turns):
"And of course, right here on this side of the wardrobe, were four children ... Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy ... all of them longing for adventure. Lucy, the youngest, and most longing, was first to push past the furry coats ... [turn page] ... and find herself in a snowy wood, under a streetlamp ... where the Witch's wickedness had made it always winter."
It's just awful reading this to my daughter. I am tempted to make up my own version.
