From Horn Book

January 1, 2007
This version of the classic survival tale covers all the main plot points, but, in focusing on the cheer with which the stranded Robinsons address their circumstances, it fails to evoke the sense of danger and isolation that gives the adventures their edge. Large, well-spaced text and abundant black-and-white illustrations aid accessibility.
