5 out of 5 stars Exposes Young Children to Quality Literature!   September 3, 2006

I bought this book and its counterpart (101 More Read-Aloud Classics) to use as the foundational texts for my Kindergarten literature homeschool curriculum. The stories are from real "living" books, not dumbed-down consumer twaddle. And, because the book includes only short excerpts, the child gets exposure to many more literary styles within a single academic year than would be possible if one attempted to read the entirety of each novel. I believe in the necessity of reading quality literature and whole books to young children. Still, this book gives a wonderful introduction to literature and can be used as a springboard to lifelong enjoyment of great books.


1 out of 5 stars Don't we have more than 10 minutes to spend with our kids???   March 9, 2005

come on, guys...can't we spend more than ten minutes each night to read to our children? especially classic books! why not just read ten minutes of the ACTUAL book to the kids so they can truly savor the piece as it was meant to be read. i cannot recommend a book that takes time away from children just so adults can selfishly have more time to work out, pay the bills, etc. this is a book definitely not worth it.


5 out of 5 stars It will make you read 101 books!   July 7, 2000

This book is great for those people who are trying to find a good book to read. There are chapters from some of the most-loved classic novels like Little Women. Some of the tales are short stories like the Elephant's Child. This book made me read most of the 101 classics. It is very good as a gift,also. This book is worth all your monery!


5 out of 5 stars fabulous!   May 14, 1997

A wonderful selection of chapters from great books for kids! Sort of like the "bathroom books" series for kids, because it offers a glimpse of each story. I also love the wide range of stories, so as a browsing selection it is great...makes a wonderful choice for bedtime reading, classroom booktalks, or group reading
