The Adventures of King Arthur (Young Reading (Series 2))

Perfect for 9 year old Grandaughter

Good little book good value and quality

Since my son started reading in Reception it has been a bit of struggle to find interesting but appropriate books for him to read at home. Last year we discovered Usborne Young Reading and I have purchased a number of books from series one, series two and some of the Usborne Beginners Non-fiction books which my son also enjoys. The Adventures of King Arthur was purchased after my son announced that he only wanted to read exciting books not boring books. As he also enjoys 'Merlin' I hoped that this would be a good choice. As it turns out it was an excellent choice. Rather than a struggle to get him to read every day, it is now a struggle to get him to put the book down! He has really enjoyed reading about King Arthur and hasn't minded rereading parts of it to improve his fluency or comprehension etc. This is not the only book in this series that my son has enjoyed and although I am sure that lots of girls will enjoy this series it is particularly boy friendly. If you are looking for books to inspire your son to practise his reading skills this book and others in the Young Reading Series are worth investing in. On the Usborne website there is information about which series (1, 2, 3 etc) is suitable for which reading level (1B, 1A etc) and also which book band they fit into if your child's school uses that particular system. Series 2 books are aimed at 1A readers, I think. Hope this was helpful.

Clearly written in a style suitable for very young reader

Great collection of stories for boy obsessed with King Arthur/Knights etc. Son is almost able to read these himself. HIghly recommend.

As expected and stories close to originals, worded to encoursge young readers to read more. What I wanted for 8 & 5 yr old grandsons, so happy

Good illustrations

This series varies considerably on the quality of the abridgements. This one is not bad - it covers the whole story (rather than just an intro to the story) and does a reasonable job of making it interesting. Its about average in the series.

J'ai eu un vrai coup de cœur pour ce livre en anglais (pour faire travailler l'anglais et le prétérit). Le livre est richement illustré, la légende est complète et il est de très bonne qualité, avec une couverture rigide. C'était mon premier achat chez Usborne et je ne le regrette pas. Je compte acheter les autres histoires de la collection.

Great book

My granddaughter loves to hear of Arthur's adventures, and this rendition is perfect for a child.

Dieses englischsprachige Buch habe ich für den Englischunterricht in der Grundschule gekauft und muss sagen - ich bin begeistert! Spannende Geschichte (Alle Geschichten von König Artus nach dem Vorbild von Sir Thomas Malory) und super Bilder (vor allem für die Jungs ;-) ). Zu den Bildern gibt es häufig total passende Sprechblasen. Das Buch eignet sich auch prima zum Nachspielen. So macht Englisch in der Grundschule echt Spaß!

My 6-year-old son loved the book. He read it all right away. I like the chapter formart - makes it easier for a new reader.
