little ones! It was easy to follow and very engaging, I really
loved it.--Manon
Love reading children fiction. Its worth my 1 hour break time.
Although I have not read the original or Modern edition. This book,
is all I ever wanted. Its fine and readable. Love the simple story
line. I fancy all pictures of Lizzie and her siblings. Its
well-written. I am sure children will find this book lovable and
attractive too. Thank you NetGalley, the Author & Publisher for
this wonderful ARC in exchange for my honest and decent
review.--Summer
Pride and Prejudice is my favorite book and this adapted children's
story by Gemma Barder was delightful to read. At 96 pages, it's a
quick read that hits all of the major plot points while using
modern language that will be easier for young readers to
understand. There are also charming drawings throughout. I
definitely recommend this book for middle grade readers and Jane
Austen fans who want to introduce Austen to the next generation. /5
stars. Thank you to NetGalley and Sweet Cherry Publishing for the
ebook to review. All opinions are my own.--Kim
Thank you to NetGalley and Sweet Cherry Publishing for granting me
access to an e-ARC of "Pride and Prejudice (Jane Austen Children's
Stories)," a Jane Austen novel adapted by Gemma Barder in exchange
for an honest review. This is such a good book for children! The
story is simplified enough that's not missing important dialogues
from the original book, the cover has the lovliest color palette
and the drawing in between the pages are so cute. It's a quick and
fun read to beginner readers.--Sveva
Thanks to Netgalley for an eARC of this book in exchange of an
honest review. Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen is my favorite
book and I was so excited to read this children's edition. All the
illustrations, beginning with the cover were absolutely adorable.
It's as if I was reading a fairytale set in England.. Since the
illustrations looked so well on kindle, I can imagine how cute they
must be on the hardcover/paperback edition. It's so important for
kids to read the classics and what a beautiful edition this one
was. Definitely going to read it again on my iPad. If you are a fan
of P&P, you definitely need this in your collection! Thank you
so much for this book.--Paloma
This is a fun book that my fourth and fifth grade students would
enjoy to read. I would it introduce it in hopes that they would
read the entire classic when they are a bit older. The story of
Pride and Prejudice, as adapted by Gemma Barder, is a quick and
comprehensive read. It details the main components of the novel in
a very likeable and readable way. I have also read Emma, by this
author recently, and enjoyed it as well. I hope there are more
editions to come! Thank you to Netgalley for this free ebook in
exchange for an honest review.--Linda
This was a beautiful rendition of the ever powerful story of
Elizabeth Bennett and Mr. Darcy! The illustrations were really
enjoyable too. Thank you to the Publishers and Netgalley for
providing me with this short and brilliant book!--Fariha
