Today I read "We Didn't Mean to Go to Sea", a book in the Oxford University Press series. I was Written by Arthur Ransome, retold by Ralph Mowat, and illustrated by Henry Brighouse.
The four Walker children never meant to go to sea. They had promised their mother to stay safely in the harbour, and to be home on Friday in time for tea. But there they are in someone else's boat, drifting outto sea in a thick fog. When the fog lifts, they can turn round and sail back to the harbour. But then comes the wind and the storm, driving them out even futher across the cold North Sea...
I think that there are quite a lot of stories on the sea set in the English book. I think that it seems to be slightly for children, but I think that it is safe as an adventure story. It is also nice for the four children to face a lot of hardships together. Especially John, eldest son, is cool!! He always try to protect his sister. A lot of words related to ship and ocean come out, but it is easy to understand because it is described by illustrations.
If you are interested, please read it! I recommend it!
