A simplified version of The Swiss Family Robinson.
Full of adventure and many animal discoveries!
My children (6 and 3) really enjoyed hearing the stories.

The story was hard to follow, leaping from one event to the next in a disconnected manner

DNF - my little one could not get into the story.

This wasn’t a classic I’d read before, and it was enjoyable. My boys liked the adventure, and my daughter liked all of the animals.

[Sarah · Rating 3 out of 5]

Pretty boring with no real emotion from the characters. I haven’t read the original so I can’t compare. The characters kill and take every single animal they find.

It was good but I am looking forward to reading the unabridged version with the kids.
