Four famous children's classic tales have been simplified and abridged for younger readers in these distinctive, beautifully designed and illustrated packages. A modern, color-illustrated book nests inside a "chest" that presents the illusion of an old-fashioned volume. Each chest also holds materials for an activity project that relates to the story in the book -- including maps and instructions for making models of items or costumes relating to the tales. Fact boxes appear as sidebars on the books' pages, and describe items in the stories that children might not recognize. The stories are exciting and easy to read -- just the thing to whet young appetites for more ambitious reading as the children grow older!Here's a famous Indian adventure tale set in the days when upper New York State was a wilderness being explored by English settlers. Accompanying the book are a wampum bead craft kit, a map of Mohican lands, cardboard cut-out and press-out items relating to the story and its main characters.
