This particular edition or perhaps it's just the copy has about 1/3 of the pages blank...that is no printing. You can read two pages and then the next two are blank. My son just discovered this and we plan to return the book. I know the book is a classic and my son really wants to read it. I would just warn you not to purchase the edition from Modern Publishing Treasury of Illustrated Classics Swiss Family Robinson (Large Print)

My 7 year old daughter likes this book. The difficult vocabulary doesn't really bother her. The illustrations help her get the gist of the story. It's more challenging reading than Magic Treehouse, and not as idiotic as Captain Underpants (which she loves). I recommend this for 2nd graders.

I was dissappointed in the book and the quality of the illustrations. My granddaughter was not interested in reading it. I will look for another printing of this story. You highly overrated this item.

The book is way better than the movie. how often do we say that? well, this time - it is true. I do love the Disney movie - but - the book - ohh the joy of the waterfall slide, the WAY cool tree house, the hunts, and the romance... get lost in your imagination and enjoy. delightful.
Every kid should read the book. see the movie later.
