Kids rarely enjoy a one-way street for a long time. That's a good question! I think one needs to be flexible as kids grow older and then allow them to read aloud to us as well and mix it up also with audio books. Now that I told you my new favorite, go on and read my old post below. The book size is manageable for small hands and the color illustrations by Pauline Baynes are simply out of this world. and for future reading by children on their own. Even better, the box set is perfect for reading aloud. Why do I love this new seven-book edition, you ask?īecause it has the same gorgeous color illustrations that we have in our book. So my new recommended choice (in the current absence of my favorite edition), is the The Chronicles of Narnia Box Set: Full-Color Collector's Edition (Books 1-7) When the time comes for my kids to read the Narnia chronicles, I am sure they would prefer to read a set of seven books that one heavy edition.

I searched high and low to find what would be the best replacement, especially as I was in the market to buy a set of Narnia books that would be more manageable for small hands. Which means that you can only find it used.

Third, our favorite version of The Complete Chronicles of Narnia in one book is no longer available from booksellers as new. Now my twins are asking me from time to time when are we going to continue Narnia - so the moment is coming when we will continue reading Prince Caspian. Second, we took a short hiatus from the book in order to switch to other literature. Post update: Since I published the original post several years ago, there have been some important changes.įirst, we managed to read aloud three of the seven Narnia Chronicles!
