Gulliver has an itch to travel around the world, but whenever he steps on a ship, bad luck seems to find him. He is shipwrecked, abandoned, marooned, and mutinied against, and each time lands in a strange and curious place. First he discovers the kingdom of the six-inch-tall Lilliputians, then the country of the giant Brobdingnagians, then the island of the academic Laputans, which floats in the sky, and finally the noble realm of the horselike Houyhnhnms. Who knew there were so many unusual creatures under the sun?

Gullivers peripatetic travels are summarized in twelve easy-to-read chapters. Gullivers encounters with the Lilliputians, the Houyhnhnms, the Yahoos, and others are pointed to offer readers a watery message about how to treat others respectfully. The story hits many highlights of the original text without any of the depth. Black-and-white drawings extend the text.(Copyright 2010 by The Horn Book, Incorporated, Boston. All rights reserved.)
