Great for a 10-year old or an 81-year old.
Smartphones are destroying kids, not only adults. When they read, they create characters and scenes in their minds. When they see video, games, and movies, they are looking at the imagination of someone else. Imagination got Elon Musk, Bezos, Gates, and the other wealthy people where they are. Imagination makes life bigger than it is, it stretches the mind. Nothing duller and less appealing that a boring person. I bought two of these books for myself, and I'm 81. I bought this set for my grandkids, but I know they won't read them. I told my son that if they don't read them in six months to send them to me as a birthday present. There is magic in books. Rowling's books about Harry Potter are not the movie. They are much grander. I just bought an 1880 edition of "Ben Hur". I saw the 1930s movie and the 1959 version. The first ten pages of the book is a different, and better, story. I can't reconcile 40-year old Charlton Heston as the 17-year old Ben Hur of the book. And I learned more about camel riding than in National Geographic. Want a good book? "Darby O'Gill". If you aren't brain dead, you'll beg for a sequel. I hope I get these books back, but if not, they did what I intended them to do: create imagination.
