When Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy are suddenly pulled back to Narnia, they have no idea that thousands of years have passed and terrible times have fallen on their former kingdom. With the help of allies new and old, they must wrestle Narnia from the grasp of a tyrant and return their kingdom to its former glory.

Jack would rate this book a 5 star book. We take it out from the library every time he sees it there. Which is usually as soon as we don't have it at home.
We know the story from the 'real' Narnia books. We know the characters from the pictures in this book.

This book has lovely illustrations and gives you a delicious flavor of what you can find in Narnia.

Fun illustrations. Personally I'd read the original and let my kids look at the paintings. Once they're old enough to appreciate it.

I wish it was a picture book series.

Thusfar, Prince Caspian was definitely my favorite in the series. It was the most satisfying, in a fairy tale sense. The kids all get to be the big heroes, return to their castle full of noble riches, and they make friends with centaurs and gophers and dwarves and talking Lions who represent God, and they defeat an evil king to put the rightful king back in power. It's just a shame that you know these kids are just going to have to come back and fight in another war soon. Because that's what they do. They have wars.

The pictures in this books are great. I am going to say it...I read the "Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe"...and it was good, but I wasn't interested in reading more..this books pictures were great but this just isn't my type of book...but if you are a CS Lewis Fan then this is a great book.
