This is an abridged version of the Arabian Nights. It is a collection of nine short stories that are split into different nights the stories were told. The book uses a lot of descriptive words that paint the picture. Also, it includes the story of Aladdin and readers might find it interesting to compare it with the Disney animation. However, readers might have some difficulty with the names of the characters. The illustrations are pen sketches that show what the characters wore and the environment they were in.
At the end of the book, there are questions that can be used to evoke discussions. Arabian Night is a well-known story that has been adapted into popular culture many time. This book will be an easy way to introduce the readers to the stories. ( )
