Reviews

[Mark McElreath]

A classic when read in its unabridged form. This child's version has omitted the thanks to God and His providence for their family's safety, industriousness, and eventual rescue.

[Ashley]

While it’s an abridged version of the classic novel, it was such a great introduction for Owen to the story and a longer chapter book. Both boys loved the adventure and animals the Robinsons came across.

[April]

This was a fun read aloud. Good intro to the longer, original version of the book which we will likely read in the future.

[caitys.booknook]

A very sweet story. It's amazing the lengths some people will go to to survive.
