The Whole Story


What would it take to get kids to read the children's classics? This series might do it. Printed on glossy paper with durable stitched bindings, The Whole Story series should grab and hold the attention of many who would otherwise pass on these books. Each includes the unabridged text, "with striking illustrations and extended captions that provide background information modern readers could otherwise access only through a broad range of supplemental research." The series includes Treasure Island, The Call of the Wild, The Jungle Book, Around the World in Eighty Days, and others. Some titles are still in print; all are worth watching for and paying good money for, used.
