Inspire a life-long love of literature and introduce new readers to the timeless tales that have shaped the generations before them with classic story books for children. These are revised classics for modern readers.

Readers young and old will be captivated by the trials, tribulations, hijinks and adventure in these classic tales.

As a teacher, I absolutely love these versions of the classic tales. The print is nicely spaced & easy to read. Pictures, both black & white as well as colored, are provided throughout the book. The chapters help kids to feel accomplished as they read along.

Maestra's Memo: What is an "adapted text?" An adapted text is a version of an original text that has been modified or altered to make it more accessible or suitable for a specific audience or purpose. This can involve simplifying language, adding visuals, or making other changes to enhance understanding and engagement. Essentially, it's a text that has been deliberately changed from its original form

Suggestion: You may also want to consider other adapted versions of Treasure Island that are offered by Maestra Casiano. There is a Graphic Classics version which reads like a comic book available.  There is also another version by The Clever Factory using simplified language which is also a chapter book. These make it easier to engage struggling or typically uninterested readers while preserving key elements of the story.
