While not our favorite, it is an interesting story and we certainly have enjoyed reading it aloud.<br/><br/>What is so delightful about this book is again the joyful flipping from reality into imaginative play.

Stories of the family's summer adventures are beautifully written, and encourage responsible and creative living.

The Swallow and Amazon children go sailing in the ocean with Captain Flint, Peter Duck, an old sailor, and a boy--they get chased by pirates--real pirates in a search for buried treasure.
