I am a French teacher in college. I read this book when I was looking to support a cursory reading "Friday or wildlife." Even though I did not particularly like the beginning (before the trip), I really enjoyed discovering Kensuke. It emerges from his life a certain philosophy. This novel has a big hit with my students of 5 °. It is easy to read, rather short and brings many interesting topics for college students. I borrowed this novel CDI but the illustrations were so successful and so this novel struck me that I wanted to buy it and put it in my personal library. I also recommended it to all my nieces and nephews. Do not hesitate ...
