The Call of the Wild (Treasury of Illustrated Classics) Reviews

  • Stephen

    I bought this one at a library book sale for one of my kids. It's an adapted version of Jack London's Call of the Wild, and I didn't know that when I purchased it. Maybe fine for a kid who still demands some pictures and a shorter book. I'm giving up on this one in favor of the original.

    Also, I don't know why, but the cover image is reminiscent of "HELLO. YES, THIS IS DOG" to me.

  • Alyson Howlett

    Quite violent for kids.

  • Lizzy Anderson

    I didn't realize this wasn't the original version when I checked it out from the library! So, I enjoyed it, but I think I'll definitely have to read the original at some point.

  • Kelly

    We didn't quite finish this book which is why I didn't put a rating on it, but if a book isn't at least a 2 then I stop reading. I have too little time to trudge through a bad book like I used to. It was one I was reading to my kids. It was too descriptive of violent scenes for my boys to hear at this time in their lives. I'm sure it would be fine in a few years. I would not recommend this for young kids.

  • Molly

    Always a favorite.
