Books Completed in July and August, Great Illustrated Classics

I came across 45 Great Illustrated Classics books at a garage sale and bought the whole lot for $20. Each time you turn the page, you see a page of text and a sketch of what is happening in the story. These books are a wonderful way to expose children to classic literature and although they are abridged, the essence of the original text remains. Below is a list of books Marcus and Lella have recently finished.

Marcus: Flat Stanly (series), Swiss Family Robinson (Great Illustrated Classics), Island of the Blue Dolphins, The Invisible Man, Diary of Wimpy Kid (series)

Gabriella: Robin Hood (Great Illustrated Classics), The Jungle Book (Great Illustrated Classics), Diary of a Wimpy Kid (series)
