Abel's Island Audiobook

" This story was great - like Robinson Crusoe, only Abel is a mouse and much, much, much more endearing and interesting than Crusoe. He's a lot less whiny, too. "

" I loved this book, the story is so sweet and sad. "

" Abel is stranded on an island for a year. In that time he learns how to survive on his own. More philosophically, he learns that living among others is a privilege. One must do his or her share to add to the world. "

" This is a great book that i recomend to readers at all levels will enjoy! "

" I remember reading this in school (and I think there was a cartoon version). Very cute. "

" i love the picture at the end of this book. it has so much love in it. "

" one of my all-time favorite books as a child. "

" Mat's reading to the boys. "

" A great vocabulary-builder read-aloud, this book definitely does not insult the intelligence of young readers. It spurred lots of interesting discussion on language. It's also a sweet story about "finding yourself" disguised as an adventure tale. "

" My favorite childrens book of all time. I had forgotten about it until now. "

" This book was highly detailed and had a great use of language. William Steig described everything clearly, and I enjoyed seeing how Abelard Hassam di Chirico Flint went from a pompous snob to a modest mouse. "

" I honestly didn't even know that 'equinoctial' was a word before I read this before. I never thought about the adjective form of 'equinox.' "

" this was such a delight to read aloud.. we ate it up. incredibly rich vocabulary and sweet illustrations. "

" A deeply moving and entertaining meditation on life and change. I hope I have the opportunity to read it to a child someday. "

" The story itself is so-so (nothing really remarkably different from a typical child's tale), but the narrative voice is very enjoyable. I think it's worth a read, but keep your expectations low. "

" This was one of my earliest favorite chapter books, and made a big impression on me. I love the personality of the main character, and the adventure of the story. "

" I checked out this book on CD after realizing that it was by the same author who wrote the Shrek books. It is a short read but nothing spectacular - my kids also gave it the "ok" rating. "

" I thought that this book was filled with action and adventure, and I recommend this book to anyone who wants a good survival story. "

" i really liked this book because one, it is written and illastrated by wlliam stieg, and two its is very interesting. i raely recomend this book. "

" I loved it! I think I might have read it when I was younger, but when I read it recently, I couldn't put it down. "

" It is a nice and interesting, but in some places.....boring "

" Enjoyable read but feel that, for a YA/Children's book, its language is a bit too literary for younguns today. We are just becoming dumber as a people. "

" This was my favorite book as a child. "
