## Description

desertcart.com: Island of the Blue Dolphins: 9780547328614: O'Dell, Scott, Lewin, Ted: Books

Review: Very good printing of a timeless classic - This book is classic reading for every 4th grader in California. I crack up because I read this as a four grader in public school 30 years ago, and now all three of my kids have read it as fourth graders in private school. I really like this particular edition because the font is very easy to read, the pages aren’t easily ripped because the publisher used quality paper, and the book is not heavily. Our kids’ backpacks are already so heavy, so ounces easily become pounds. I also really appreciated the next day shipping, as my 10 year old informed me on Saturday afternoon that he had to have it for school on Monday.
Review: My Favorite book since I read it in grade school! - When I was in grade school, we had a program where every month we could take home a two page list of books to buy. It was like gold to us as children for during the entire year it was the only things we were ever allowed to purchase and the only gifts we got besides Christmas. I was an inveterate reader and wanted to expand my little library. One month I selected after much perusal, " The Island of the Blue Dolphins," the story of a little girl, left alone on an island to spend the winter months and what she did to survive step by step and how she felt, her emotions of despair and fear, and hope. To me, it was the first book I had ever read that did not treat me like I was Dick and Jane and Spot. I was treated as young reader who could understand the emotions of a young girl my own age and how she did something and survived through what I thought I could never do. It was my most memorable book ever, the bridge into womanhood and to solid reading. I told my own two girls about this precious book when they were in grade school and one day my youngest came home from school with it. She had found it in the school library ! She also had her opportunity to buy it at her school, and when I looked for it on Amdesertcart , there it was! I had to have my own copy again, to reread the precious book of my youth and also to have thee book that changed my reading habits forever and I needed to own it, to complete my now large library. I recommend this beautiuful story, this wonderful, exciting adventure of a young girl to everyone of every age. You will love this story. The book came in perfect condition and very quickly.
