Produktbeschreibungen
From Booklist
Gr. 4^-7. Children have always loved the Lilliputian adventure of Gulliver's Travels, and illustrators have a great time with the man-as-giant in a miniature world. Hodges retells it here "as Gulliver might have told his adventure to children," and she does a fine job of simplifying Swift's prose without losing the original character, humor, and cadence. Root's bright, detailed watercolors with fine line and hatching extend the fun with perspective and scale: in one picture, Gulliver is held down by the hairs on his head; in another, a Lilliputian stands on Gulliver's chin and shoots an arrow up his nose. The parody of the little people with their wars and their self-importance still makes you laugh and so do the reversals in size and viewpoint. Unfortunately, the design of the book is cramped, with small type and so many pictures all over the page that middle-graders won't find it easy to read. This would work best as a classroom read-aloud. Hazel Rochman

From School Library Journal
Grade 3-6?Told as Gulliver might have recounted his adventures to young children, Hodges's adaptation of Part I of Gulliver's Travels is a masterful retelling of the 18th-century classic. While condensing the story considerably, she has retained not only the important details of the involved plot, but also the flavor of Swift's rich, descriptive language; she even includes occasional expressions in the Lilliputian tongue that, as in the original, are explained in the text. Furthermore, Hodges has divided the narrative neatly into nine "chapters," allowing the story to be read in logical installments while also clarifying the progress of the plot. Root's stunning pen-and-watercolor illustrations do much to bring the fanciful tale to life. Her fine details add a wonderful touch of realism, providing a feast for the eye to accompany the well-chosen words. As with Hodges's wonderful retelling of the medieval tale The Kitchen Knight (Holiday, 1990), her latest work will find its way into the hearts of adventure-loving young readers and listeners, serving as an outstanding introduction to Swift's literary treasure.?Nancy Menaldi-Scanlan, LaSalle Academy, Providence, RI

Gulliver's Travels is definatley a classic. Anybody looking for a book to read should definatley check into this one if they have not already read it. Even if you have a second time would only do you good! Gullives Travles is a book that can reach most levels of reading with the content. A few words a big, but they can be bypassed. Swift has definatley done himself well with this one, and the great part about it is that if you like the book, there are also movies that can be rented of Gullivers Travels. All in all the book is a good book.
