The Three Musketeers (Young Reading Series 3)

Young readers will love it!! (Even those who does not like to read) :)Bought this for my daughter to prepare her for the original book and she love it.Story is simple, interesting to read and well illustrated.If you looking for book to encourage your child to read or to prepare for the original book - this is a perfect book.

I got this for my 8 year old brother who is a good reader but can never sit still long enough to read a book! The difficulty was pitched well for his age and it wasn't too long so he was able to read it quickly whilst his interest held. Great little book if your trying to ease your child into literature!

64 pages/8 chapters~ 'The Three Musketeers', by Rebecca Levene & Victor Tavares, retold.👀 'LOOK INSIDE' above gives an idea of the content.From the back cover:~'The classic swashbuckling adventure, by Alexander Dumas, retold for children ready to tackle longer and more complex stories.d'Artagnan longed to be one of that elite band of fighters, the King's musketeers. But he never dreamed that one day he would fight alongside the most famous trio of them all.'

I’ve read and enjoyed Alexandre Dumas' classic The Three Musketeers when I was in my late teens, and wanted to share this with my daughter who developed some interest in pre-revolutionary France. Following a recent trip to France. The real work might be a tough too demanding for her, even though she is an enthusiastic reader. But these Usborne books are typically a safe bet to introduce her to the essence of the material. The condensed storyline is clear but exciting, even for me as a parentAs always these Usborne Young reader books are extremely well presented; there is a sturdy hard cover, excellent colourful illustrations on each page, glossy thick paper and a page finder ribbon. So my daughter loves to read them with me during guided reading sessions and is proud to collect them in her growing book case. So far she has already collected a vast amount of the Usborne historical event and character books that she meticulously keeps in chronological order. But now she found out that there are some fiction stories within that as well, these have now been separated into a new collection.The durable nature of these books imply that they will have a place in our family for years to came, as already her younger brother has started to read the easier ones.Can praise the series and topics enough. Recommended.

Good story at good price.

Count of Monte Cristo was great to read to a 7 year old, but this less so I think. Too much of it felt out of step with modern values. (Not because it’s old; is not true of CoMC or reams of other classic fiction; but was my experience of this).Would prefer eg CoDM to read to a child. NB not at all the fault of the abridgement; its the novel itself that’s the problem.

Reasonable price to add to my grandson’s collection

Nice book classic story.

Enfin un livre sur les Mousquetaires qui est joliment illustre en plus d'etre bien traduit. Dommage qu'une version francaise equivalente n'existe pas.
