There aren't pictures or study questions or anything to be used as hooks, just the innate appeal of the stories themselves. Since most elementary kids aren't ready for Charles Dickens (for example) but still want to read his work, we're mostly okay with this.Įach paperback is compact, with minimalist cover art and the text. Unlike traditional abridgements, though, these are more like extended edits, retaining the original power of the language while simply excising some of the fat. Most of the available titles are unabridged, though a few that are quite long in their original formats have been trimmed. These aren't new releases, popular fad items, or stories about angsty teenage vampires, however Puffin is devoted to printing classic novels that appeal to younger readers in increasingly attractive yet still affordable paperback editions. As the kiddie arm of Penguin Classics, Puffin has been publishing quality children's literature for quite some time.
