I won this on first reads.
Wonderful!! This book is an example of perfection in the goal of getting readers into the classics.
We have all done our imagining when little. We have gone to far away places and been long gone and long ago made up people. That is just a part of our nature. Reading is a great way to get us into that. It gives us ideas for our play. This is an amazing book that comes at it from a different route. It shows us how much fun the play can be and takes us back to the days we did that very thing. It also ties in with the classics and lets kids see that there can be fun in the pages of the "old" books.
I will be keeping this for my grandkids, and family's kids and grandkids. They will all love it, of that I am sure.

I asked a faculty member at Alamance Christian School to review this book. Her review is.....
The Wee Musketeers by Robert Bresloff is book one of the Get “Into” the Classics Series. Remember back to those long summer days of pretend, throw in an eccentric Grandpa, and his beloved classics that transport you into the stories and you are sure to have an adventure on your hands.
The use of costumes throughout the tale would make this a great story to read to an elementary class and have a dress up day or weave a theme around it. There are so many teaching opportunities available in this story not to mention just the pure fun of pretending. Bresloff effectively grasps readers from all levels whether they are academic, athletic, artistic or love to be in the kitchen. He has a character for you. You find yourself picking a musketeer and rooting for them throughout the entire story. This is a wonderful spin on a classic. (reviewed by M.Free)

It's the first book in an action and adventure series for kids ages 8 to 12. Great for boys who are reluctant readers!
