"For many days we had been tempest-tossed... the raging storm increased in fury until on the seventh day all hope was lost." So begins this delightful adventure story. The Robinson family-a Swiss pastor, his wife, and four sons-will emerge alive from this terrible storm, bringing to land two dogs and a shipload of livestock: hens, pigeons, and geese.Inspired by Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe, this uplifting tale relates a family's ingenuity and courage as they struggle to survive on an exotic tropical island.
