desertcart.com: 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (A Stepping Stone Book): 9780394853338: Conaway, Judith, Conaway, Judith, Verne, Jules: Books Review: A great introduction to a sci-fi classic! - My seven-year-old daughter loves to read and I was eager to introduce her to the classics in English literature. I knew the original might be too daunting for her due to the high level vocabulary and have been looking around for a well-written adaptation that retains the essence of the original. The Stepping Stones Classic series of books for independent young readers fit the bill perfectly. These are abridged versions of the classic and are engaging without being too daunting for young readers who might otherwise be put off in attempting to tackle the original versions. I make it a point to read these books before passing them on to my daughter to ensure she will be able to handle the language on her own and also to check the content. Judith Conaway has done a commendable job on this adaptation. The language is not dumbed down, yet not too advanced for an independent young reader. There are black and white illustrations that engaged my daughter (a visual learner) and kept her attention throughout the two hours (collectively) or so she spent reading this book. The chapters are short and the plot keeps moving along, keeping the reader engaged. Highly recommended for independent young readers ages 6-9. Review: Wonderful to share a classic with them - Fabulous book for my 6 & 8 year old boys. I had to change some words when reading it. Wonderful to share a classic with them!

A great gift.
Haven't read the book. It was a gift for my 6 year old grandson. It came in a timely manner and was in great shape. He was really excited when he received it Christmas day.

Perfectly fits my needs. I am reading classics to kids during an 11 week summer camp. These books are the perfect length and vocabulary to read in short segments during one week of camp.

Este libro fue un regalo para una niña, que está aprendiendo inglés. Le gusta mucho Julio Verne. El libro está bien editado, con algunos dibujos ilustrativos muy bien hechos.
