Swiss Family Robinson

by Daisy Alberto (Adaptor), Robert Hunt (Illustrator), Johann David Wyss

For six days and nights, a storm tosses the Robinson family's ship around on the sea, before dashing it on the rocks off a deserted island. All the sailors are gone. The family is alone! But nothing can keep the cheerful Swiss family Robinson down for long. Father and Mother Robinson, along with their four irrepressible boys, quickly settle into their new home--mining the shipwreck for supplies, discovering valuable resources on the island and animal friends, and even turning the treetops into their own lofty aerie. Life is a nonstop adventure with the Swiss Family Robinson!

Johann Wyss's classic survival story is available for the first time ever as a Stepping Stones in this early chapter book filled with exciting black-and-white illustrations.

Not this particular version, but another condensed retelling.

Happy to have finally read the story behind one of my favorite Disney attractions as a child. Might actually get around to reading the original.

So I finished reading this to my girls. This version was good for my kids (7 & 5). I would like to read the unabridged version now.

Another good survival book. Less impressive than Robinson Crusoe.
