Love this series for the exposure of great stories that it provides children. They are abbreviated but for my son the have been great to peak his interest in reading the unabridged versions as soon as he can.

This book was great. I read it a lot. It is a must-read and once you read it, watch the movie that is coming out in 2010. This is what the book was about.

Gulliver was on a journey to explore. His ship, one day was in a terrible storm. His ship was wrecked by the storm. He woke up on an island where everyone was small. The small people captured him and brought him to the king. The king didn't think he was dangerous and Gulliver wasn't. Gulliver was soon trusted by the small people. Since they trusted him, they built a house and a big bed for Gulliver to sleep in.

Soon, they trusted him so much they let him out of the town. Soon, he explored towns and met people. One day, there was a huge fire. The small people couldn't put it out. Then, Gulliver got water in his mouth and sprayed it at the fire. The fire went out and the town was happy that the fire was out.

Gulliver found a boat and built it to go to his hometown. He said goodbye and left. Instead of going to his hometown, he went to another island. This time the people were big and super tall, taller than Gulliver. They treated him like a child because he was so small and one day, a girl befriended him and they became best friends. One morning, a person bought Gulliver for money from the girl because he was so small. The girl was sad that someone bought Gulliver from her family. The person that bought Gulliver said that you can visit him.

This book was adventurous. I loved this book because I like adventures. I just found out this book is going to be a movie. I was wondering if the book is better. Go get this book at the library or go buy it.

I bought this book for my grandson who is 10. I wanted to introduce him to classic books. Apparently he has read several of these series and finds them very interesting and fun. What a great way to educate our kids and grandkids.
