Cracked Classics #1: Dracula: Trapped in Transylvania By: TONY Abbott
Fiction, children's classics 130 pages
Book Count: 76
No, I wasn't spending my Christmas reading a book about vampires. I read this days ago but between illnesses and getting ready for the numerous Christmas parties, I wasn't able to spend much time on-line, while still being able to think. Now about the book.
I have only one issue with this book, it was written for kids WAY to young for reading the actual book. It even notes this in the back of the book. Which, is fine for teaching kids about classic lit; however, it made me want to reread the book and kids who read this may want to read the book to even thought it is was to hard of a book for them. Besides that it was a great intro to Dracula told in a fun to read way. It covers all of the most important events in the book and even helps kids learn about the elements of a story. As it is about 1/3 of the length of the story and has its own story about the kids that get trapped in the book "Dracula" it is missing much of the details of the story. It is much like a story based "Cliff Notes" on the book for kids age 7-8ish. Overall, I liked the book and want to read more. It seams like a great way to teach kids about the great books that they may not ever read about otherwise.
