This book is a great book full of imagination. Although the first chapter is a little boring, once you read the second chapter you won't be able to put it down. This book was written by an author (C.S. Lewis) from England, so there will be a few unfamiliar words if your not from that area. This book is #2 of the series, but if you go by the order that they were written this book would be the first. There is a total of seven books in the series. These books are The Magician's Nephew, The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, The Horse and His Boy, Prince Caspian, The Voyage of The Dawn Treader, The Silver Chair, and The Last Battle. That was my review of The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe.Show Less

The traditional black-and-white illustrations are present, but no color plates.

    I just finished reading this book and did so as the second book

    I just finished reading this book and did so as the second book in the series. I only later found out that The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe was actually published first and that many fans recommended reading them in the order in which they were published. This would be something to consider as you decide which book to begin with.

    Not only is this an enjoyable read for children, as I have been reading these aloud to mine, but it is enjoyable for adults. The language and the way C.S. Lewis writes is very accessible and feels like you entering his world from the first few sentences. My children’s interest has not waned as it has with other kids books.

    Another attractive aspect of these books is the underlying Christian themes. They help one understand some significant events in the Bible as well as access the teachings of Jesus in a unique way that makes kids think.

    Due to the accessibility of the writing and the creative way teachings of the Bible have been woven in, I have found myself becoming interested in who C.S. Lewis was as a man as well as reading his other works. I would highly recommend these wonderful books written by such an interesting man.

    fantastic

    i think that the series the chroniclas of narnia, is the best series out there. and the lion, the witch, and the wardrobe is the best book out of all of them. i also like other books for the series, such as prince caspian, and the voyage of the dawn treader. in conclusion, i think it doesnt matter if your under 10 years old, or over 50, you will enjoy this book very much.

    Confusing

    I thought that this book was alright. It wasn't the best book I've ever read and it wasn't the worst. The reason I liked this book is because it had interesting parts but in the middle it went really slow and I got lost quite often. This is a book about four children named Lucy, Edmund , Peter, and Susan. The littlest one, Lucy discovers a wardrobe with a magical land inside called Narnia. The land is filled with talking animals, an evil witch, and a great king, Aslan. When Lucy finally gets her siblings there with her, Edmund is lured into the hands of the White Witch and her friend Mr. Tumnus is gone. Now Lucy , Susan, Peter, and two talking beavers have to make a journey all the way to king Aslan to save Edmund, Mr. Tumnus, and all of Narnia. This book is filled with magic and that's why I recommend this book to all fantasy lovers.

    Everybody's Favorite

    The Lion, the Witch, and the wardrobe is definitely the most loved Narnia edition. It was by far my favorite. First of all, it was the first movie which boosted it's popularity. Second of all, the best Narnia books are the ones where the Pevensey kids are the main characters and this book was the first one where that is the case. The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe is DEFINITELY the most favorited Narnia book! Finally, C.S. Lewis is a genius!
