Matthew's Pick of the Month: The Adventures of Sinbad

This is a great chapter book. It is a little above Matthew's reading level right now, but an excellent book to read aloud to him. Each of the 7 chapters is one of Sinbad's voyages. We read a chapter a day (although it is short enough we could have read it in one day if we really wanted to). Matt couldn't wait to read the next adventure. He found it exciting and, to quote him, "Sinbad is cool! He rocks!" The best part of this book is that he'll enjoy hearing it again and again, and, when he is able, read it himself again and again.

I realized that I had never read anything of Sinbad's adventures and hadn't realized that they were part of 1001 Arabian Nights. For those who don't know, the Arabian Nights is a legend about a woman who told her husband - The Sultan - stories to entertain him because he wanted to have her killed. She continued to tell him these tales for 1001 nights. I actually had a question answered by a note on the back of the book. Did the wife save her life or not? Do you want to know? If so, look further...if not, stop right now.

He spared her life.

Hop on board and sail off to adventure with your child!
