Format:Hardcover
A fantastic book for young boys. My 5 year old was given the book for Christmas and has insisted on having a story from it before bedtime every night- now we've got to hope for a sequel!!
Each story is relatively short but the text and illustrations make the reader feel grown up whilst capturing their imagination - pirates, monsters, ghosts and adventures (but nothing too sinister!)
Now that we've read each of the stories together, my son is returning to the book by himself and beginning to read it independently, enjoying the stories just as much as the first time.
A really great buy and thoroughly recommended.

Format:Hardcover
Our young boys love the stories and colourful illustrations. Stories are a mix of old (Sinbad, Treasure Island) and new (Robot Robbery, the Haunted TV etc). This is a physically heavy book for small children, and while the page binding is strong and well put together (it has a built in page marker), it wasn't strong enough to put up with moderately rough handling. The spine of our copy has seperated from the pages within 3 months. Its a shame, but we will still get many months of night after night, repeat reading out of it. Recommended, probably for boys 3 to 7, or even 10? Girls would probably dig some of the stories too.

I bought this book for my 4 and 2 year old boys due to the domination of girly books and fairy stories on our bookcase thanks to their older sister. The book fits the bill nicely. It contains a good mixture of pirates, robots, dragons and the like. I also enjoyed the very abreviated version Simbad the Sailor. The pictures are lovely and most of the stories can be read in under 5 minutes. A great all round book for young boys.

Something not right about this book
Neither I nor my grandson (aged 6 when I bought this book) liked it. The stories were curiously unsatisfying and sometimes ended abruptly. Read more
