Classic novels are so enriching for students to read, but often it’s hard to get kids interested. These books are great for introducing these classic tales to students in a fun way. Each book is an illustrated re-telling of the novel, with a colorful graphic-novel feel to it. The Illustrated Classics contain colorful, glossy pages with text boxes and speech bubbles that capture the essence of the novel in an adventurous, fast-paced way. They are each about 60-80 pages long, have fewer than 200 words per page, and are softcover. You can purchase the classics separately, or in a set that includes the classic, an audio CD that reads the illustrated classic aloud, and a study guide. The audio CD that accompanies each set contains a word-for-word reading of the illustrated classic (with beeps for turning pages) and is easy to listen to. Each CD runs about 30-40 minutes. Whether you use these illustrated classics and/or sets for school or just for fun (hopefully both!), you’ll enjoy reading and listening to the classic tales. Sets are packaged in a durable plastic binder that stores the illustrated novel and the audio CD. Simple study guides are also available for the Illustrated Classics - click here to see study guides available. ~ Rachel
