Written in 1930 this is a wonderful book about 4 siblings, the youngest being 7, who go off sailing and camp on a 'deserted' island for a couple weeks. Their mother gives them permission and checks up on them now and then, but mainly they are on their own and have a great adventure, and make friends with some other sailing kids. I really love how incredibly independant these kids are! It's set in England's Lake District and is full of sailing lingo and realistic adventures. We are really excited to continue on, this is the first in a series of about a dozen books. We all agree that this is one of the best books we've ever heard.

Afterword by Peter Glassman. "Originally published in 1907, this book concerns four likable English children and their adventures with a magic ring. It's hard to imagine a more appealing showcase for Nesbit's fantasy than this handsome volume....Zelinsky's artwork is as lively as the story and very much of the period....Beautiful."--Booklist. A Books of Wonder Classic.
Two girls, ages 12 and 10, end up ship wrecked on a deserted island with 4 babies! Fortunately they adore babies and this is a fun and mostly realistic adventure. It amazes me though, that changing diapers is never mentioned! We just finished reading this book (2nd reading in the past year) and as soon as we finished it our 5 year old said "Let's read it again!" Mind you, it takes a week to read this chapter book.
