20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (Union Square Kids… di Jules Verne
I had never read this classic, so was glad to get it on the SDPL read-along series. Less adventure and more scientific nomenclature than I expected.
What is the secret of a goose that swallowed a priceless blue gem? How is a woman killed when she is alone in a locked room? Why does a mysterious club only include people with red hair? These puzzles are all solved by the greatest detective the world has ever known.
Three Sherlock Holmes mysteries are presented in the book: "The Adventure of the Speckled Band", "The Redheaded League" and "The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle".
The tales have been simplified from the originals, giving the plot line and highlights of the original tales. I have read the original tales and these present them with enough detail to give the reader the feeling of the time and that fact that it is a mystery, without extraneous descriptions and details.
I read the book in a short time, but can see that it would be a good read for a young reader and easy to enjoy in separate chapters. There are great pen and ink illustrations in the stories to give it a little more life for children graduating from picture books to chapter books. A nice combination in one cover.… (altro)

This is a simple little book making much use of grocery bags and paper plates. Its probably more fun to give the children (ages 8-10)the materials and let them get on with it than to have any ideas that you can produce a prize-winning fancy dress outfit from this book.
