Revisiting this classic as a read aloud with my son. Its a wonderful example of a plot driven book.  If you have an early reader who can't hold attention long enough for a story to unfold, this is the perfect book.  Within chapter 1, mystery, magic and wonder is rapidly unfolding!

I’m not a massive fan of the narration of this book. It just doesn’t do it for me but it seems to be a popular style for a lot of the older kids books.
I like the plot but felt it was all a bit rushed and no tea details were give about the queen which I found disappointing

1990s[-2000s]: Read the series a bunch as a kid/preteen.
December 2024: read aloud with my mom and my son. Fun to share Narnia with him.
