Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Only 90 cents?
Review: Here's a nice price for something who looks like a nice book (because I have read Aladdin and other Arbian Nights stories, and I liked them). Too bad only that the shipping price for it is 4 dollars, which make me re-think my decision to buy it! :-/

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Princes and Princesses from Far Lands
Review: If you like Greek myths or fairy tales of princes and princesses, you will like these stories. The book consists of five short stories--the longest one being a mere 27 pages. Each story has a black and white illustration...At [the price], this book is a good little addition to any shopping cart.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: short on illustration, long on content
Review: One of the Dover Children's Thrift Classics, this book has only six black & white illustrations, but contains more of the Arabian Nights stories than most books with glossy pictures. In these 83 pages of text you'll find six stories: Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp, Abou Hassan or the Sleeper Awakened, Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, The Enchanted Horse, Camaralzaman and Hadoura, and The Seven Voyages of Sinbad the Sailor.

With large clear type, this is a good selection for a pre-teen interested in fantastic tales and mythology.

Summary: Wonderful Classic Tales
Review: Originally Arabic, these classic Tales are Adventurous and Enchanting. All Magic and monsters, Alladdin is my all time favourite and all kids love to listen too. The Magic Lamp is amazing and if we all had it, the Genie would be oh so kind to favour us to fulfil our wish to spread peace on Earth! Alibaba and the Forty Thieves is an adventure tale and the cave spell that in the end,Ali Baba becomes rich! Sinbad the Sailor takes on a voyage to sea and these beautiful stories simply makes you soar your kids imagination and love to explore the dreamy world of wonderful classic tales. A must for a Children's Library and sure pick, any time, anywhere - Only I guess I'd liked the hard bound edition of Classic Adventures of Fabbri Publishing Ltd., spain. For kids, Paper back editions are good and can pass by for reads. Anyways, this is a good Pick!

Summary: Arabian Nights for Rainy Nights
Review: This wonderful collection of Arabian Nights stories has pleased many children thousands of years ago. Today, it appears in the form of classic collections. Surely this would be enough to show the enjoyment of these tales.
At such a ... price, one might just buy this book regardless of theme or story. But really, if you are a fan of the Greek myths or any other historical stories, there is no reason why you would not love this book.
THe stories range from the tale of the donkey, to the well known Aladdin. This is a great book to read to children, young adults or adults, male or female, big or small.
This is not meant to put off older readers. In fact, older readers are more likely to understand the stories than the younger.... get this book and you will surely not regret it.
