The Adventures of Tom Sawyer - H

<< Prev page

Mark Twain
Illustrated by Robert Ingpen

Tom Sawyer is just too great a character for our children to miss out on today. What child won't be riveted by the grand adventures Tom has -- witnessing murder in a graveyard at midnight, escaping down the river to an island, getting lost in the depths of a deep cave with bad Injun Joe lurking somewhere in the darkness?

Tom's pranks and wayward ways are bound to please those who feel the same as he does about having to dress up in clothes and attend school and church, and all those things grown-ups think are so important.

And the courage and determination that live in Tom and his friend Huckleberry Finn -- their ability to act from a deeper place of conscience and right action when needed -- are grand examples for our children. As is the chance to read more sophisticated language and interesting turns of phrase and vocabulary. Even to encounter racial language, a product of the time when Twain was writing, and to have the chance to talk about such use with parents, teachers, and peers.

These are the gifts of a great classic -- especially this one, which is so stunningly illustrated by one of the finest artists working today. Having a classic like this on your family bookshelf can open the doors to the greatest adventures your child may ever have. I can't recommend this enough. Every child deserves to grow up knowing Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn and to relish a bygone time and place along the Mississippi River that still has so much to give the world today.

Robert Ingpen's pictures uniquely capture the heart and essence of this tale of adventure and will draw your children into the literary masterpiece. Parents can read aloud to younger children, perusing the paintings together and accommodating the text if it becomes too sophisticated or confusing. Older children will be eager to tackle it on their own and can look forward to hours of reading and delight.

Why This is an Employee Pick

What Mary, Catalog Coordinator, says:

Even though my granddaughter is only four years old, I’m getting the four classics illustrated by Robert Ingpen to have on my bookshelves for when she’s older. His illustrations for The Secret Garden, Peter Pan and Wendy, Treasure Island, and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer are just remarkable and truly bring these stories to life. I can picture my granddaughter poring over the wonderful illustrations long before she’s ready to hear the books read aloud or can read them herself. And I can see them staying on the shelves to be passed along to future generations. They are that special.
