Customer Reviews

I'm very surprised by the negative reviews...

My seven-year old son picked this book up to read tonight and was completely immersed. It is an approachable, light version of a classic that he found captivating. What could be bad about that? I thought it was well written for the purpose... to introduce classic stories in a manner that teaches and excites the child to read more. He couldn't put it down. We will definitely purchase more from this series of books. Well done.

Not Bad & Condensed

This is like a condensed version of Malory's L Morte Darthur, the standard bearer of Arthurian subject matter.

A Book With a Moral

My seven year old daughter and I loved this book. It had humor, valor, and a good moral throughout.There is a theme throughout about not being mislead by appearances. At this point in my childs education I am endeavoring to build a good moral foundation so I appreciate a good story that reinforces values!

Kid tested, mother approved

This book was one of three Bullseye Classics we bought for my son's second grade English class. He picked this one up as soon as the box arrived and had it read within an hour. He loved the stories and was able to re-tell them to his little sister. I hadn't heard the stories about "Big Hands" or "What do women want?" This collection really got his imagination going and he wants to read more about King Arthur. To tell you the truth, I didn't notice the problems with sentence structure, etc...I was enjoying the stories too much.

Knights of the round Table

I think this is a very good story because its placed in history. I like when the giant takes off his head. You should get this book for your child.
