Gulliver loves the life he's leading. As a doctor on a ship he travels to some very interesting places. But life at sea can be dangerous, too. Gulliver's ship is destroyed in a storm, and it takes every bit of his strength to swim to shore, where he falls asleep all alone. But he is not alone for long! Gulliver awakens to find himself being held captive on an island called Lilliput by people who are only six inches tall! Although they don't trust him at first, soon enough the Lilliputians see how handy it can be to have Gulliver around—at least some of the time. And Gulliver adds another exotic, exciting, and very funny adventure to his life experiences!

This adaptation highlights the humor of Gullivers misadventures in Lilliput; the tale culminates with Gulliver urinating to extinguish a palace fire. Aside from common plot points, the resemblance to Swift's story is slight, but the entertaining elements, reflected in Caparo's illustrations, may make readers curious about the original.(Copyright 2010 by The Horn Book, Incorporated, Boston.
