Chronicle Concering Books Baby Island

My wife read this book to me while I was driving on a roadtrip. Her mom had found her childhood copy and sent it to her. It has to be one of the most awesomely bad books ever written. It's intended for children of course, but that doesn't make it any less terrible. It's some screwy adventure tale of two young sisters on a sinking ocean liner who end up alone in a life boat with two or three babies. IT'S LIKE A DREAM COME TRUE! The older sister is quite the mother hen, while the younger, butcher sister takes on the more masculine role of provider. She finds canned meat. They land on an Island and make a little home for themselves there. We were laughing so hard I almost ran off the road a few times. Its awful, and totally worth the read.

Judgment Containing Books Baby Island

I spent the winter I was seven curled up with this book. I ordered it from a book order, and I loved it! I was a bit confused by it because it was written in the 1930s and people carry handkerchiefs and think chocolate is a major treat. I always thought it came from a different country. But anyway, that's neither here nor there. Two girls are stranded on an island with four babies. They eventually find and befriend a grumpy man who came to the island to get away from babies. Not great literature

My wife, Ange, grew up reading this book and weve had it on our bookshelf for a few years. Our oldest, Rosie, is finally able to sit still for short chapter books and we couldnt be more excited! This book is a spin on Robinson Crusoe-basically two girls get stuck on an island with four babies and have to take care of them. The premise sounds horrendous to me, but Rosie loves little babies and was captivated by the plot. Fun breezy read, and were excited to introduce her to other childhood

Great story, unrealistic as it may be. A Swallows and Amazons primer? Just the thing for those who love babies, monkeys, pirates, parrots, and happy endings. Winning illustrations in both color and black-and-white are a perfect match for this lighthearted Robinsonade.

As a adult I see a lot wrong with this book, realism wise. However, I read this book over and over and over again in late elementary school. I was a favorite for a long time, so my 10 year old self give is 5 stars; my adult self, not quite so many.

I recall this being wildly entertaining as a child, and it's just as amusing as an adult, mostly because it's the most absurd thing ever written. Prim and proper 12 yr old Mary and her 10 yr old sister, Jean, master of jaunty made-up songs and morbid comments, wake in the night to find that their ship is going down en route from San Francisco to Australia. They do what any sisters would do: rush to the cabins of the cute babies they usually watch and, finding the baby parents absent to deal with

I remember my sister Teresa reading this to me one summer when Mom decided we needed to have a "rest time" every afternoon. We loved it--Baby Island, I mean, not "rest time". I just read it to Lizzy and Katie and they loved it. It appeals to the baby love that we females are born with. Since I recently read Lord of the Flies, Baby Island struck me as extremely implausible, but is a fun read.
