GRAPHIX, 2007

Very well done!
This third in the Baby Sitters Club (BSC) series of graphic novels is my favorite so far. Raina's drawings seem more detailed and lively in each successive book. I've been buying the BSC graphic novels for my niece who is finding real inspiration in the artwork while simply enjoying Ann Martin's time-honored stories, and I heartily recommend this series both for the clean, yet engaging stories, ...

Just Like the video
If your young'n loves the Mighty Knights episode, then this is a good paper version for nighttime. My two year old loves pointing out the characters that he knows from the DVD. Worth the $4.

Good book!
Okay. It's totally unrealistic, I'll admit that, but this is a great book about friends and troubles and that sort of thing... funny, imaginative and well-written, this is one of the best BSC books I've ever read. Here's some of the stuff that happens in this one: 1. Abby sees the Queen at Vic's flower-handing-over ceremony. 2. Kristy gets a crush on a French-speaking Canadian boy. 3. Janine and ...

THIS BOOK WAS GREAT!
"Dawn and Too Many Sitters" has a great plot, and that's why I rate it a 10. It's funny.

But there are some drawbacks: Jeff hates smelly diapers, and didn't want to change Andrea Prezzioso's; and Adam goes with Stacey to sit for Matt and Haley Braddock and ...

Mary Anne Saves the Day
As always, Martin's BSC book #4 lives up to the rest of the series. One of the things that make this series so good has been the timelessness of the situations and for the first time, I found a date-indicating mention in a BSC book! When Dawn mentions that she's got a VCR, as if that was a big deal, it was the first and only such clue I've found so far. The BSC falls apart, leaving timid ...

A big book -- and a gorgeous one too
Don't let its brevity fool you: The Three-Sitter is a big book, about major topics. In 246 pages, Suzanne Matson explores first love, true love, what actions we owe the people in our lives, and the price we're willing to pay to pursue our ideals. Add a gorgeous prose, and you have a book that will accompany you long after you've finished reading it.

Yes I did like this book because I have almost read the whole series and these are my favorite books because I do a lot of babysitting for my sisters and I like hearing about other people babysitting experiences. It is about what everybody was doing at the time of the blizzard. Stacey and her mom got stranded in the car in the middle of a parking lot until Mr.Schiavone came and took them to his ...
