Sherlock Holmes Books for Children

Two years ago, if I am not wrong, we were at a shop look­ing for books. My son was at the age where he was into Com­ic Books and short sto­ries, but we want­ed to encour­age him to start read­ing big­ger books. We found this set, a Sher­lock Holmes col­lec­tion, with lots of books that appeared to be not too short and not too big, so it was per­fect for what he need­ed. This is how we bought Sher­lock Holmes Retold for Chil­dren series.

In this col­lec­tion there are 16 books. Each book has around 64 pages, the writ­ing is big­ger and every two pages there are one or two small draw­ings.  My son loves it, he read and re-read them lots of time and of course he has some favourite sto­ries. He loves The Hound of the Baskervilles and Sil­ver Blaze. Here is a list with all the titles in this series:

1. A Study In Scar­let
2. The Speck­led Band
3. The Reigate Squires
4. The Red-Head­ed League
5. The Blue Car­bun­cle
6. The Val­ley Of Fear
7. The Mus­grave Rit­u­al
8. A Scan­dal in Bohemia
9. The Sign of Four
10. The Hound of the Baskervilles
11. The Navy Treaty
12. Sil­ver Blaze
13. The Final Prob­lem
14. The Emp­ty House
15. The Danc­ing Men
16. The Six Napoleons

If you are look­ing for mys­tery books for young chil­dren, detec­tive sto­ries or easy to read books that are a bit longer, Sher­lock Holmes Retold for Chil­dren series is a very good choice.
