This is a book I've been reading to my kids for the last several weeks. They were eager to start reading it after we rented the movie one night. They all liked the book very much, and even though it is different from the movie in many instances, they still found it very enjoyable in its own right.
This book continues the story of Edmund and Lucy Pevensie, who are staying with an aunt and uncle while the rest of their family takes a trip to America. Their cousin Eustace despises them and their stories of Narnia. One afternoon Eustace finds himself drawn with his cousins into a painting in Lucy's bedroom, and they are all whisked off to Narnia for an adventurous sea voyage.
I don't think I have ever met a more offensive and whining character than Eustace. I find it so funny that Lewis named the character Eustace, because Useless Eustace describes him perfectly at the beginning of the book. Happily, Eustace goes through some miraculous transformations, physically and socially, during the children's adventures, and ends up to be a very useful boy at the end.
Reepicheep, the courageous mouse, also makes this book quite memorable. He is always daring the crew of the Dawn Treader to keep sailing forward, and never seems to know the meaning of the words doubt and fear. Just like Lucy, I want to pick him up and just hug the stuffing out of him, but that would be quite disrespectful behavior towards such a gallant knight!

Childhood Revisited
I got this to read for a second time right before the movie came out. It was this series of books that I first really found a passion for reading. This installment sees the two younger Pevensie children tossed back into Narnia with a barty cousin, and linking up again with now King Caspian aboard his ship The Dawn Treader. This was not my favorite of the series, but it certainly held my attention well enough this time as it did when I was a boy.

C. S Lewis is a great aurthor.
This book inspires me to right just like him. The ideas are great. I could not have ever like him. This book is for any ages, adults to toddlers. The seven seas remind me of an tropical island. The whole series is for any ages. Ias Prince Caspian still alive. Are there dwarfs in this book. Why is the older b

i like it except the end
yes this is a very good book, but i would not recomend it to drama kings and queens because at the end reepicheep goes away and is never seen again!! i cried at the end plus this book is kinda scary. so my ratings r not so high but go ahead see if u can hold back the tears at the end which i think u wont if u like reepicheep.

The Voyage of the Dawn Treader by C.S. Lewis
The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is a book that sets the standard of C.S Lewis's children stories high. The book had captivating detail on how the ship "The Dawn Trader" sailed to the end of the world. It had twisting plot details as the ship spun off and landed in Narnia with the help of Aslan. It captivated me and I had to read to the finish. Overall it is a very good read for rainy days and for people who have vivid imaginations.
