Interpretation To 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.

Commentary Based On Books Baby Island

This was one of my very favorites as a kid. Although I'm sure it can't possibly be as good as I remember, but I'd love to read it again, just for the nostalgia.

Recommended for ages 8-12, but tentatively on my 6-year-old's reading list for this year, this book had me a little nervous, and I decided to read ahead. I was delighted by this story, written back in the 1930s, about two sisters whose fondness for babysitting gets them into thrilling adventures as they are shipwrecked with four babies. I've read the first couple of chapters aloud to my two girls (6 and 4), and they are enchanted. It appeals to their love of wee ones--as Mary, the elder sister,

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.

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

I loved this book when I read it in the summer of 1950 before entering third grade. I loved babies and the idea of being shipwrecked with 4 of them ... Heaven. This book was responsible for my love of reading. I could never get any of my there daughters to read it, though, in spite of a generous bribe. I still re-read it occasionally and enjoy it just as much though my tastes have evolved. I love the quaint language and the illustrations. Maybe I can get my granddaughters to read it.

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.

Awesomely bad pretty much sums it up. A ridiculous story, but at the same time a really, really fun read. It was a favorite in my childhood, and after a reread, it's still a keeper.
