Overview

In this wordless graphic novel, a galactic Robinson Crusoe is stranded on a desert planet, where he survives on what coconuts he can find. Until one day a delectable croissant, perfectly wrapped in plastic, lands on the shore of the beach, a gift from the gods. There#&8217;s only one problem: Robinson#&8217;s companion, Friday, also loves baked goods#&8212;and so begins a wild chase, the likes of which the solar system has never seen. This exhilarating, humorous take on a classic tale will delight children even as it introduces them to a seminal work of Western literature. The lack of text also means prereaders will be able to return to the story time and again without an adult#&8217;s help.

En esta novela gr#&225;fica sin palabras, un Robins#&243;n Crusoe espacial est#&225; varado en un planeta desierto en el cual sobrevive comiendo cuantos cocos puede conseguir.

Existe s#&243;lo una complicaci#&243;n: a Viernes, el compa#&241;ero de Robins#&243;n, tambi#&233;n le encantan los panes#&8212;y as#&237; se desencadena una espectacular persecuci#&243;n que jam#&225;s viese aquel sistema solar. Esta excitante, humor#&237;stica recreaci#&243;n de una historia cl#&225;sica deleitar#&225; a los ni#&241;os a la misma vez que les presenta una obra fundamental de la literatura occidental. La ausencia de texto le permite a los prelectores#&160;seguir la historia sin la intermediaci#&243;n de un adulto.
