Around the World in Eighty Days (Dover Children's Evergreen Classics)

Not sure why I overlooked this book from Verne for so many years, but it is well done as his other known stories. A great and entertaining read!

Book was exactly as described and pictured, and arrived well protected.

I tried to buy the kids version as advertised, but I’ve received the full version

Es un regalo para mi prometido.Así que soy más exigente aún y este libro cumplió mis expectativas en cuanto a rapidez de entrega y el cuidado que tuvieron para entregarlo en perfectas condiciones

This book is simply fun and is a great book for children to read and learn from. My children enjoy it greatly and we read from it every night. If you are looking for a book that is worth it, this is it.

Good book to read on a winter day.

This is a great-looking book. I have just started reading it. It will be a wonderful book for display. I suggest it for everyone that enjoys books.

This is a book that I read when I was young boy, and I always thought that it was a fantastic story for children to read. It stimulates their thinking and certainly creates all kinds of imaginations. I totally recomend this books for those children that like some adventure in their readings. Unfortunately, the thrill of this book is threatened with the easy access we now have to the WWW. It is no longer necessary to go around the world in 80 days, but it could easily be done in 80 seconds! ...and still arrive early to win the bet.Tamer
