A retelling of the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe from Lucy's POV. A nice refresher, but nowhere near the standard of writing of the original.

I found this book in my drawers and decided to give it a read. It's a children's novel with 80 pages total. Although it was a bit blunt, the plot was quite interesting. I haven't seen the movie, but I feel like this book pretty much summarized the entire movie like a trailer. It was intended for easy reading for kids, so it didn't contain as many details as the books I typically read. The story progressed quickly, going from point A to point B in a short amount of time. One moment the character was fighting, and the next moment he was lying on the ground. The book lacked detailed elements, but I'm still excited to see the movie adaptation!

This is the book which introduced me to the beautiful word of Narnia. I am pretty sure it's based on the Movie which I never saw, so this was a very immersive experience for me. The Book tells the story of Book #2 in the Narnia series (The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe) and it tells the story from Lucy's perspective. If you want to get into Narnia or want someone younger want to get into Narnia I'd highly recommend to start with this one.

This book was ok. It summarized the movie instead of the book which was nice and it was all told from Lucy’s perspective but it was very short and mostly left out a lot of the talking and just explained what happened. There were also some parts that it you aren’t familiar with the movie then you might be confused during them because they left out too much and didn’t explain enough.

Its a re-write of the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe with pictures from the movie. A quick read.

For younger readers, this might be enjoyable, but older fans of the film should seek out C.S. Lewis' original work. No adaptation, especially not a summed-up, movie tie-in one, could top it.

I like the movie pictures better than the story adaptation. You get plenty of Lucy's POV written in a better way in the movie. The story felt a bit too quick even for how short it is.

Read this chapter by chapter with the girls. A lot of fun and a lot of questions about Mr.Tumnus.

[Margaret Chadwick · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a short story extension to The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe. It gives a slight insight to into Lucy and her thoughts as she embarks on this amazing adventure to free Narnia from the white witch and save her faun friend. I have to be honest and say that I did not find this book particularly interesting and I did struggle to keep my attention on this book. However, it is worth the time to read as it is always interesting to get an idea of the thoughts and feelings of characters as they embark on a journey that is filled with fear and excitement. This book is a part of four short story extension books. The other three are based around Peter, Susan and Edmund. Each book follows a different child. These four books may not be ones that are read more than once if at all but they are still worth a place on shelves for fans of The Chronicles Of Narnia. Each short story adds something new and interesting to The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe so I recommend giving them a read. Even if they aren't the best of stories, they are only really short books that can be finished in the blink of an eye.
