My fifth grade teacher read it out loud to us and I always remembered it, though I could not remember the title. When I was an adult, I found it at Barnes and Noble and was so happy-- I bought it on the spot for my kids, though they were quite young at the time. I saw the movie version with Jim Caveziel (sp?) (the guy who played Jesus in The Passion)came out but want to read the book before we see it. Thanks for the reminder about this wonderful book! I need to go pull it off our shelf... Does anyone else have so many books they forget what they have?? I love North To Freedom too!

We just listened to Huckleberry Finn which goes on forever and as a treat I have bought the Focus on the Family dramatized reading of Chronicles of Narnia. I can't wait until it gets here (and you can get a good price if you go to Amazon.com!) Listening to books I read or read in audio format in the car are a great joy to us.

The Swiss Family Robinson drives my husband nuts, though, with all the different animals on the island that shouldn't be there together. ~smile. Thanks for some titles I hadn't heard of.

I know some of them are abridged, even though they don't say they are, leaving out the Christian messages which are part of the original story. I've never heard of that Howard Pyle book...I'll have to look for it. And thanks for mentioning about the movie version of Anne Holm's book (I think it's called "I Am David") as I was wondering if it was any good. Blessings, Carmon ------------------- Carmon, I have heard that there are different versions of <em>Swiss Family Robinson</em>, but I'm not familiar with them. It would be interesting to get a first edition, but I suppose that would be pretty expensive. <em>Within the Capes</em> is another book by Howard Pyle that is not so well known but is good, too.

Carmon,

I have heard that there are different versions of Swiss Family Robinson, but I’m not familiar with them. It would be interesting to get a first edition, but I suppose that would be pretty expensive.

Within the Capes is another book by Howard Pyle that is not so well known but is good, too.
