Summary: Do not buy this book...
Comment: ...if you have any affection for the original book or any respect for your child's intelligence. It is an offensively dumbed-down version of the classic. The soul and substance of this book have been surgically removed, the language simplified to second grade level, and the real-life messages and values so memorably presented by the original simply DELETED. The illustrations are of stiffly drawn, misproportioned coloring book figures. It is well worth waiting a couple years until your child is ready to read and enjoy and learn from the original version.
Rating: 2
Summary: This is a SIMPLIFIED VERSION and not the original.
Comment: Be aware that this is a SIMPLIFIED VERSION and not the original text. The original (which ...(this website) also sells) is much richer & more interesting; Ms. Dodge wrote it for the grade-school kids of the 1860s; my sibs & I enjoyed it as grade school kids in the 1950s; in my opinion, it is accessable to the grade-school kids of today. I'd give the original 5 stars.

Summary: ADVICE NEEDED!
Comment: I discovered a copy of Hans Brinker while cleaning up after my grandfather's death. He was an avid reader! My problem is, that I, too, have no idea when, where, or what value this book may be? My copy is rather aqua with a little dutch boy on the front carry two buckets over his shoulders. In the background is a dutch girl (ice skating) and a windmill. Inside the paperback cover is printed, "Giant Junior Classics: HANS BRINKER" Mary Mapes Dodge, Books Inc. New York Many thanks for your help! [email protected]
