Usborne My Reading Library Classics 30 Books Box Set Collection Age 7+

Definitely a different kind of book series, says for 6+. The series has stories with fighting and killing, and some words are incredibly hard to read. I’m returning as these are not little kid friendly, yet are geared toward young readers. Stories like Romeo and Juliet , but just like original, not changed enough for kids.

Excellent

I purchased these books for my 7-year-old when I realised the reading books she was getting from school were boring her. She's a very strong reader and very inquisitive so giving her stories a bit more complex was a no-brainer. She read the entire library in about 2 days and talked about the various stories she'd read for several weeks.The stories are very well abridged and beautifully illustrated making them more suitable for the younger reader, with more complex books also providing shot guides and relevant information (Pronunciation guides in Midsummer Night's Dream & a family tree for Wuthering Heights, also beautifully illustrated.)It was also a delight to share some of my favourite stories with my daughter in a way that she could understand and enjoy. It was far more enjoyable reading and talking about these books together than the books she received from her school. They really made her think and ask genuine questions about the themes and histories of each story. If your little one is a bright little button looking for something more interesting, I definitely recommend this collection.

I bought this for my 9 year old for Xmas. I’m so impressed with the variety of books in this collection. It has beautiful pictures to keep him entertained and to help him visualize what he is reading!

Thank you for books
