Moby Dick is one of those timeless books that should be read at least once by everyone. The Classic Starts version is retold by Kathleen Olmstead and is just as good as the original. I can't wait to put it on my shelves because I believe it is something that they will really get into. The story is told so well that the reader can invision the the story without the wonderful pictures that accompany it. The language is simple enough that my lowest reader will be able to enjoy it. This is the first "Classic Starts" book I have bought but I will definitely purchase more. ( )
