Customer Reviews

A really exciting story!
Philip Pullman and David Wyatt made an excellent team when they were making a marvellous book called Aladdin and the Enchanted lamp. It was a wonderful book as soon I looked at the front cover I knew it was a book I would enjoy. My favourite characters were the Moor, Aladdin and Princess Badr-al-Budur . My favourite events were when Aladdin took all those jewels to the king and when Princess Badr-al-Budur killed the Moor .I would rate it 10 out of 10. It is suitable for all ages.

A cracking story!
Philip Pullman's books are marvellous and they attract so many people of all ages. I think Aladdin is the best and exciting book ever. My favourite character was the evil Moor and the Jinee. I thought that the Jinee had put a lot of effort into acting. Aladdin is really impressive and a really, marvellous actor. Aladdin is very funny and not only very funny for little kids but also for grown ups. It is the type of tale that mum and dads would love to read as a bedtime story. Aladdin's mother is very old and the pictures have got a lot of texture in them. Her skin looks really wrinkly and she appears so old. I think Philip Pullman will make some more amazing books. My favourite picture is the bits were the jinnee appears out of nowhere. His glowing red eyes and huge muscular body would scare the living day lights out of anybody. I recommend that this story is for people around the age of (8/30)

The pictures are as wonderful as the amazing story.
"My luscious little peach" said the evil moor while trying to woo princess badr-al-budr the most beatiful girl in the land".
This brilliant retelling of Aladdin is one the most exciting storys I've ever read.Philiph Pullman must have the best retelling of Aladdin in the world, there are some of the most amazing illustrations by David Wyatt.
This wounderful retelling of Aladdin is about a good-for-nothing street-boy who falls in love with the princess badr-al-budr while in a fig tree after being trapped in a hole by a wicked moor. But as soon as Aladdin and the princess are setled down the evil moor returns and steels the princess and the lamp, but Aladdin will do anything to get them back. But you will have to read the book to find out the rest of the story!
