The Wonderful Story of Aladdin and the Enchanted Lamp

Philip Pullman
Illustrated by David Wyatt
(Scholastic Hippo)
978-0590131773, RRP £4.99, Paperback
10-14 Middle/Secondary
Buy "Aladdin and the Enchanted Lamp (Picture Books)" on Amazon

An elegant picture book which manages to combine a powerful retelling of the story with richly detailed illustrations. For many the Disney version is the standard and this may seem similar, but it has its own special verbal and visual treats. This edition is both a pleasure to read aloud and a source for much careful reading of pictures. The large format and richness of the production make it a book for all ages, but especially those who often think reading's a chore and a bore.
