I don't favor abridged versions of classic works in general--I would certainly try other children's books and work up to the classics if the child isn't quite ready for that level.
On the other hand, I read an abridged version of War and Peace when I was about 19 and that was cracktastic, it was awesome, I literally could not put it down-- and I've never been able to finish the full thing, so there you go.
