"What would you do if you were shipwrecked with four lively babies in the middle of the ocean? Mary and Jean aren't bothered a bit. Before long, they are all happily settled in a cozy hut on a tropical island. There's no problem these two babysitters can't seem to solve alone on their island...

"Alone? Then who made those huge footprints in the sand?"

One of my teachers must have had this as part of her classroom library -- I remember enjoying reading about the girls' lighthearted adventures alone with those four babies on that tropical island. Now, having had a baby of my own, it sounds much, much worse than "Survivor." I wouldn't do it if I were guaranteed a million dollars. The only thing worse than being alone with four babies on a deserted tropical island would be if there were five babies. And the only thing worse than five babies would be six. You get my drift. Whatever made those footprints has nothing on the scary babies.
