Went Back to Childhood again





One of the tasks in my Spring Book Challenge was to read 2 chapter books that I loved as a child. Uhh hello Babysitters Club was my favorite series by far. I always bought them or got them as gifts. So I chose to read 2 super specials. I think these were my 2 favorites.

Starring The Babysitters Club is about the kids being in their school play. The school is putting on Peter Pan and all the babysitters and a lot of their charges are involved in some way. There is some drama when the cast list comes out and such, but of course it is always worked out. I love it.

Babysitters On Board is about the Babysitters going on a cruise and then to DisneyWorld. Maryanne and Stacey are there with the Pikes as mother's helpers and the rest are with Kristy and her family. I never really noticed as a kid, but Dawn is kind of annoying. The book is great. They meet new friends and tell us about cruises.

I have a couple more at home so look for more reviews eventually.

Going back to being a child




Oh The Babysitters Club. Those were the books that I waited for. They were always what I would get for Christmas. I had all of them. I loved the super specials. These books really are what got me to love reading so much. I was feeling in the mood for a child book and so I requested a couple from the library. I am pretty sure that my librarian thought I was crazy, but oh well it is so fun to reminice.
This is a super special that has Stoneybrooke under a blizzard. All the girls are spread out throughout the city: Mallory and Maryanne are watching the Pike kids overnight, Dawn is stuck at the airport, Kristy is at home with her family and her maybe boyfriend Bart, Claudia is babysitting the Perkins girls, Jessi at her dance studio, and Stacey is stuck in the car with her mom.
The book follows all 7 of them as they ride out the blizzard the best they can. I love these books so simple and yet so fun to read. I will be blogging more about the other super specials that I got.
