I started this with my 8 year old son and it just didn't hold his attention.
It feels very timeless and the illustrations are cute.
Abel is set to have a lovely picnic with his wife when all his plans are upset by a hurricane. He finds himself alone on the island, and he learns he must rely upon himself.
There's no children's writer that respects his readers as much as William Steig. What a vocabulary. What descriptions. What lovely illustrations.
