Aladdin and the Enchanted Lamp - Anonymous, Philip Pullman, Sophy Williams
Aladdin was always getting into trouble and even when his father passed, he continued doing the same. He wouldn't get a job, or change his ways. Then one day a man named Moor comes along and claims to be his uncle. One night, Moor takes Aladdin and makes him go in search of a Lamp. He is not to touch anything, but the Lamp and then come straight back. Aladdin soon figures out that Moor is not his uncle, but only using him. When Moor discovers he's been found out, he uses his magic to bury Aladdin in the cave so he cannot come out and Moor leaves.However, Aladdin soon discovers the power of the items he has found.This was a nice retelling. The artwork was also nice and I really enjoyed Pullman's retelling of this story. This is a book I would read again.
