It's not so peculiar that he hasn't read Crusoe. I've been reading since I was 5 and the only reason I'm familiar with it is because my mom read it to me when I was little, and I didn't much like it then. I don't remember ever wanting to read it or anything.
Treasure Island and 20,000 Leagues were great, though I wouldn't call 20,000 Leagues a kids book. I hated it when I read it--I think I was 15?--but now I think I would enjoy it.
