Granted, Baby Island is an utterly unrealistic book, from the launch of a lifeboat with only two young girls and three babies inside, to the unlikely ending, and much of what happens in between.  However, for readers willing to suspend reality, this tale is a dream adventure for many a little girl; getting to play the role of mother to three adorable babies. Baby Island was for years my elder daughter's favorite book.

Baby Island's moral and spiritual tone and emphasis on good character traits are rare in most more modern books, and in many older ones as well. Mary and Jean can inspire young readers to courage, creativity and responsibility. All in all, the book is a charming romp of a read, with good values, recommended highly for all young girls who love babies.
