Apr 26, 2018 Andrea rated it it was amazing
Rating: 4.5 stars This is my favorite of all the classics. It is such a amazing story. I am not the biggest fan of the children's version, because I feel as though it cuts out all the good parts. I didn't like how it kept saying the whole " tell me another story, of course i will", I just skipped those for the most part. It was repetitive, which I didn't feel that way in the original. Everyone needs to read this one though ! This is my favorite of all the classics. It is such a amazing story.

Mar 01, 2015 Katherine Kim rated it really liked it First of all this book is the kind of book that has many little stories in it. I really liked all of them. I especially liked "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves". The characters were somewhat descriptive. The character Ali Baba was really smart and wise. For example, when he saw the secret cave with bags of gold, he took one bag. And maybe another when he needed it, so the "owners" wouldn't know if they were missing.

Also, his wife was very smart too. They "owners" also known as the thieves, tracked Ali Baba down, and put a white mark on their house. Ali Baba's wife got worried they had found out, so she put a white mark on every house near theirs'. They, as a team, went together and finally won. As in, when they got caught, they didn't let down. They fought through and killed the "owners". The other stories were almost as exciting as this one. But, in my opinion, this one was the best. This was a very exciting and adventurous book. I think anyone would love this book. Overall, the books inside the book was great. ...more
This was a wonderful collection of illustrated stories retold from 1001 Arabian Nights. It's perfect for younger readers and can easily be used as a springboard to enjoying the full classic version in the future. This abbreviated version at only 160 pages gives elementary school age children fascinating stories of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, Aladdin, Sinbad the Sailor, and several others, which they may already be familiar with through the magic of Disney movies.

I may buy a few more and hope they will encourage me to try one of the original classic versions. ...more
It wasn't as enchanting as I thought it would be. I was expecting enchanting and unique words, because this story supposed to set in the middle east. But it was pretty normal, it
doesn't arouse my imagination at all, maybe because it was a children's book so they rephrase it. And there's no backstory (other that in the prolouge and epilogue) or any real relationship between the characters. And it ended suddenly... So overall I think it was ok, but I didn't really liked it. Check out my other revi Check out my other reviews here!
Feb 01, 2010 Yas rated it it was amazing It's so hard for me to remember the name of the queen, Scheherazade! =)
Oct 03, 2018 Sheri rated it liked it Since this tale is such a classic, allusions to it abound. I figured it would make for good literary background for my kids. While they got really annoyed with the repetitive beginning to each story, the tales themselves were interesting. We found the Sinbad stories to be so ridiculous and hilarious (and formulaic) that we made our own.
Dec 06, 2019 Nick rated it it was ok The stories are long, boring, and confusing. Unnecessary stories within stories within the story. Constant breaks as the night ends and a new night begins. One set of stories is simply a bad retelling of The Odyssey. Magic, demons, and a god who is not The God. Rarely kept my kid's interest, and by the end I wasn't interested either.

Feb 20, 2015 أسماء rated it really liked it I love the stories of Scheherazade !
Jan 08, 2020 Charles rated it it was amazing Even though nearly all American children have been exposed to
some of the stories in the collection of Arabic folk tales called “A Thousand and One Nights” or simply “Arabian Nights,” the vast majority are unaware of the origin. The movies and cartoons about Aladdin, Sinbad the Sailor and Ali Baba and the Forty thieves are all stories from this great work. This book contains some of the stories from that collection and is written at the level of the young adult.
Dec 16, 2020 Teresa rated it liked it Read it to introduce the Arabian nights stories to my boys but I would like to read them other versions now. The stories are wonderful and the boys loved them. I didn't really enjoy reading outloud the simplified language and I skipped most of the repetitive intros and conclusions if I was reading through a few nights in one sitting.

Nov 22, 2016 Jacque rated it it was amazing I did not expect to love this book as much as I did! I read it to my kids for school and I would find myself reading ahead in my head and my kids getting frustrated. "Mom! Stop reading it to yourself!" Now I must read the full version!

Jun 01, 2020 Rachel rated it it was amazing Apparently, I never realized that some of our best known tales come from Arabian nights. And I never knew of Sinbad the Sailor at all, till I heard him referenced in Monte Cristo. Great stories. Short reads. Would work for a bedtime reader.
This was a sweet short version of Arabian Nights. It was never a favorite classic of mine but I did enjoy this one. Great for kids that are slowly getting into the classics or
anyone who wants a quick read.
Jan 14, 2021 James rated it liked it This book can get tedious to read at times, especially the end of each night where it says the same thing over and over again. And the only two stories I really liked from here are Ali Bua and the Forty Thieves and Aladdin. However if you are looking for an abridged version this is good for that.
Feb 27, 2021 Ender rated it really liked it Read to p91. This an accessible version of Arabian Nights. Clear
language with cultural differences and tales that will interest young readers. Region: Middle East
I highly recommend this book if you haven't read these stories before like myself. I love the simplicity of these stories and I loved the different stories. My favourite story has got to be Aladdin and will definitely recommend to everyone that loves a good arabian themed book.

Sep 04, 2018 Shayne rated it it was amazing The kids were so excited to find out what would happen in the next story. Perfect chapter lengths for first or second grade to teach them the classics
Aug 27, 2020 Noelle Kelly rated it really liked it We read over 3 weeks because the stories tend to be a little repetitive but we trucked on through and they especially loved the tales of Sinbad, Aladdin and Ali Baba.
A fascinating book of many tales. Most of these stories I have never heard before. Just like the King, I couldn’t wait to hear more about each story.
Aug 02, 2022 L rated it it was ok I just can’t get into these fairy tales. But I’ll let my child come to her own conclusion as this is a read for school.
Not a bad introduction to the classic, but it's really dumbed down for kids and in my opinion, loses too much of the entertaining detail. That said, it definitely kept my 6 year old's attention
and interest -- we never ended a reading without him asking for "just one more!" That said, it definitely kept my 6 year old's attention and interest -- we never ended a reading without him asking for "just one more!"
one day a man was going to town but then he meets a creep the creep told him lies like to bring him things so the man went back and got him the things then he told him to kill himself but if the man gave him all his belongings so he ran home and got everything and gave it to the creep and he lived
Lydia: The original is better, but I did like this one.
Jan 19, 2013 Julie rated it it was amazing I liked this book because it has a lot of intresting story.

Feb 02, 2020 Kara rated it it was ok Fun for me to read with Lena. But personally I didn’t love it. But this was also the easier “classic starts” version meant for younger kids. Maybe I’d like the original version
