Publisher Description

Abelard Hassam di Chirico Flint-Abel, for short-is a rich and silly mouse. He spends most of his days just having fun, going to picnics with his wife, playing croquet with friends, and dancing at parties. Unlike most other mice, Abel has never had to work for anything. All that changes one blustery fall day when his wife's scarf flutters away in a gust of wind. Abel races off to rescue it and is swept away in a rainstorm. When the storm is over, Abel finds himself washed up a deserted island. To survive the winter, this pampered mouse will have to work hard at building a home and gathering food. Can he figure out a way to get off the island and return home-or is he stuck living by himself for the rest of his days? With warmth and wide-eyed enthusiasm, this Newbery Honor Book will delight young readers with an insightful tale of a mouse rising to the greatest challenge of his life.

“No fue un problema encontrar el mejor libro del año, La Isla de Abel de William Steig…Abelard representa, esperamos, lo que somos todos nosotros—orgullosos, ingeniosos, desesperados, perseverantes y, eventualmente, triunfadores. Y así Mr. Steig triunfa.”

— New York Times

Quotes

    — Washington Post Book World
  • “Las aventuras de Abel están presentadas con la gracia, el entusiasmo y la habitual agudeza de Steig…En todo respecto, es un triunfo.”
