Dracula - Kid Classics: The Classic Edition Reimagined Just-for-Kids! (Kid Classic #2)

Bram Stoker’s Dracula is one of my all-time favorite novels. My son is 6 years old and he’s at the point where I want him to read novels vs kids stories. I debated for a long time whether to get him this book or not because it’s the kids version of the original.Initially it moved very slowly for him and given that he’s 6 it was a style of story telling that he wasn’t used to, ie, journals and letters, so he was often confused about the characters. It was only perhaps 1/3 into the book where he got really into it and he alone devoured the rest of the book. He couldn’t wait to find out what happens in the end.So I’m overall very happy because he ended up reading it on his own. It also didn’t feel like a “Step Into Reading” type of book for children. The illustrations are very good and follow the story very well. The book itself is of high quality and I would consider gifting it too in the future.

Read this with my girls over a few nights. We all really enjoyed it. A real page turner that had them thinking and has stayed with them.

This book has been a great read for my child. It's not too hard nor very easy. The pictures and text flow together and the story follows the original in a kid friendly way. I highly recommend this book.

I was surprised by how nice this book was. My son loved it so much he read it in a day and then read it a few more times. It has pictures to go along with the story. They took out some of the grittier bits that normal Dracula has but kept just enough to keep my son interested. Same diary entry format, same story.

While looking for kid versions of literature I ran into this book and pre-ordered it. I got it recently and it's a great kid-friendly retelling of the classic Dracula story, a quite sturdy hardcover and some very nice illustrations! My kids usually shy away from scary stories but they gave this one a try and they liked it! Looking forward to their other retelling for kids!
