Classics Illustrated

The Classics Illustrated series were first published with the express aim of bringing classic stories to young readers in an easy to access format. With full colour, original and highly acclaimed artwork, the two series – Classics Illustrated Junior aimed at 4 to 7 year old readers and the original Classics Illustrated for 7 to 12 year old readers – engage even reluctant readers whilst delivering the world’s greatest stories.

The Classics Illustrated series are each 48 pages of living colour and contain notes on the author, a timeline of events taking place in the world when the story was first published, and short essays on the work, as well as a number of questions to challenge the reader.

The Junior books are 32 pages of bright, captivating artwork and also contain notes on the author and a full colouring page from the story itself.

To compliment the series and to facilitate use of these wonderful books in the classroom, we also produce Teachers’ Resources which are full of information, exercises and assignments, quizzes and wordsearches. They also provide cross-curricula tasks and ideas and are photocopiable for ease of use.

These superb classroom tools are available as free downloads from our website for the Junior series, and to buy from the website for the 96 page two title version.
