Praise forClassic Starts™: nbsp; “The books have won the praise of a number of educators. Peggy Charren, a visiting scholar at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, an advocate for higher-quality children’s media, and a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, said she has read several {and states}’they’re terrific.’”—The Wall Street Journal. nbsp; “Where abridgements are useful in introducing literature to grade-schoolers not equipped to handle the real thing, books in this series will fill the bill.”—Booklist. nbsp; “Large print, short chapters, and an abundance of white space provide an attractive, more-accessible option for readers who are not ready to handle the originals.”—School Library Journal nbsp; “Even those who dislike adaptations will find much to admire in this retelling…”—SchoolLibrary Journal(forThe Adventures of Tom Sawyer) nbsp; “This…retelling will be appreciated by readers not yet ready for the original work.”—School Library Journal(forAnne of Green Gables).
