Swiss Family Robinson
Description
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.

duff
what an absolute waste, the original book was 45 chapters long, this excuse is 11 chapters long, needless to say a lot of the storey is missing. had intended it as a Christmas present for a grand child, only fit place for it is the bin.

Seven-year-old daughter loved it!
My seven-year-old daughter loves to read and I was eager to introduce her to the classics in English literature. I knew the original versions might be too daunting for her due to the high level vocabulary and have been looking around for well-written adaptations that retain the essence of the original.The language in this adaptation is pitched just right, neither too easy nor too advanced for an independent young reader. The story has enough drama and action to keep a young reader engaged.There are many other classics in the Stepping Stones Classics chapter book series, and I highly recommend them for independent young readers who'd like to read the classics. There are also two DVDs which I think would be lovely complements to this book:Swiss Family Robinson (Vault Disney Collection)The Adventures of Swiss Family Robinson - The Complete Series

Not the original story.
I wasn't aware that it wasn't the original story, but a child friendly adapted version. I was disappointed when it arrived, but it's my fault for not reading the description thoroughly.
