Horn Book (Wed Aug 01 00:00:00 CDT 2007)

These adaptations straightforwardly delineate plot points but sacrifice atmosphere, language, and uniqueness. The resulting retellings are stiff and, in the case of already child-friendly fare like The Wind in the Willows and Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, somewhat pointless. Spot illustrations are more page-filler than enhancement. Discussion questions and an afterword are appended. There are five other spring 2007 books in this series.
