 Happy to see a classic translated January 28, 2008

This is such a wonderful childrens story. It still captivates my 6 year old son and my 3 year old daughter loves it. My son and I frequently get into the "I love you up to the ..... and back" routine.
What you think of this translation kind of depends on how you want to use it. My children are English speakers who we would like to see learn Arabic. Therefor, I appreciate the fact that the English and Arabic text are both on the page. My husband can pick it up and read it to the kids in Arabic, and I can pick up the same book and read it to the kids in English. My son was fascinated the first time my husband read it to him in Arabic because he was familiar with the story and could kind of follow along with the pictures even if he didn't understand every word.
I considered giving this book four stars due to the other reviewers comment about the book being laid out left to right, and it is true that it would be the opposite if it was solely an Arabic story book. Like I said though, it is all about how you want to use it. My children will never be able to read the Arabic text on their own (or by the time they can they will no longer be interested in the book), so the fact that the pages are ordered left to right makes no difference to me.
 Good for desperate moms like me! July 26, 2006

This book is good,but just cause I am so desperate for good Arabic books to read to my daughter. I thought that the story was cute, but not too much. I didn't like the idea that the Arabic part of the story seems to be secondary since the book starts from left to right (wouldn't want to teach my kid that it's ok to read Arabic the wrong way). The Arabic is classical Arabic, so one can't really go wrong there (but my 2 year old daughter lost interest quickly since she found the Clasical tone odd). She loved the rabbit though and kept telling me about them.
So it is a good book considering the availability of simple books in Arabic for young children.
