Summary: This book rocks!
Review: Oh, my, goodness, this is the best book! It's perfect for ages 0-1,5876. It is an imaganative story about an three aunts (there are supposed to be five, but one got put in jail for hitting a chef on the head with a wok because he was making steaks out of an endangered animal, and the other one shaved her legs(oh, the horror) and married a tax inspector) who live on an island and take care of all the animals there. It's a truly spectacular book, and I recommend it to everyone.

Summary: The Island of the Aunts
Review: The book, Island of the Aunts, is filled with imagination, curiosity, and adventure. The aunts that live on this island take care of sea animals, but not your average animals. This book is filled with mermaids, selkies, and giant worms. I liked this book because it is filled with fantasy and ideas that seem real at the time but in reality do not exist. It has animals that are only in our dreams. I would recommend this book to people who like imaginary creatures.

Summary: Not appropriate for recommended age
Review: This book has multiple inappropriate words in it and discusses a nudist colony. I feel that it is totally unappropriate for the age it is recommended for. It is indeed a good story but I do not want my fourth grader reading it.
If the author thinks this is good children's reading, I beg to differ and say, leave out the damn, hell, and nudist colony, as well as references to murder, killing, and drinking, and then she might be right.
I am very offended at this offering and have found multiple other parents who feel the same. I will no longer purchase books by age rating.

Summary: A Book Kids Love
Review: This book is a hoot. The offended woman who won't let her fourth grader read it doesn't know much about fourth graders. This is exactly the kind of book that gets kids reading for pleasure.

Summary: Please Be Aware-- Monster Mission, too
Review: This is a very funny, kind of quirky story that, for sheer imagination, should be praised. However, it should be noted here that "Island of the Aunts" IS THE SAME BOOK as "Monster Mission." Apparently, MM was either the earlier edition or it was the English edition. But they are the same story.I bought them both here, at ..., so they apparently don't check these things out. Nothing about the descriptions led me to believe they were even similar, only that they are both by Eva Ibbotson. All I can say is, in this case, you Really can't judge a book by its cover -- not even that it's the same book!

Summary: The Best
Review: This is never dull and boring.It is a you-can't-put-it down kind of book. When I first saw it I though nah I don't wanna read a book like that. But then I saw that It was by the same author of another book I enjoyed called The secret of platform 13. Both books are by Eva Ibbitson. Trust me it is an awesome book!!

Summary: One of the best
Review: This is one of my favorite books of all time. (It ties with The Voyages Dr. Dolitte and To Kill A Mockingbird) I personally love fantsy, so this was a great read. I really enjoyed it, I first bought it in a bookstore because soon we were leaving for a LONG flight to Hawaii and I had heard this was supposed to be good. I read it all on the flight and since then have read it 3 or more times. I highly reccomend i!!!!!

Summary: My Favorite Book Of All Time!
Review: This is without a doubt one of the best books I have ever read! No matter what kind of mood I'm in it never fails to make me laugh! It has just the right mixture of seriousness and silliness so that it's not too much of either one. All in all I'd give it a million stars if I could! Some have complained that it has a nudist colony in one part, but really you'd have to be INSANE and have NO SENSE OF HUMOR at all to find that offensive, because it's not as if it's (...) good lord people LIGHTEN UP!!! You would have to be a huge idiot and have no imagination at all not to love this book! I have recommended this book to all of my friends and they have all LOVED it. (...) Buy it! You won't be disappointed.
