As a child I loved my illustrated 1001 Nights but I can't find one now that is pitched right and has pictures in it. My son is 6 and we're not afraid of a few beheadings etc. but would prefer the sex toned a tad (apparently Richard Burton's version borders on the pornographic).

I've heard lots of good things about Geraldine McCaughrean's version, but when I "look inside" it has no illustrations.

Reviews of Usborne's padded one also say it has very few illustrations, but I have their Grimm's one and it has just about enough, so if anyone can confirm they are similar then that might be the one.

Any alternative suggestions? TIA.

I know it's not what you asked for but when your son is older, I found the Husain Haddawy translation really well written.
