Read the Best Babysitters Ever Book #Giveaway

HMH Books is partnering with me for a giveaway.  

My girls love to read.  I love to see them read a book together. My older daughter has started to babysit and my youngest knows what it is like to have babysitters so the situations the girls find themselves in were quite amusing!

Best Babysitters Ever will resonate with all girls who have tested their entrepreneurial skills.  There is definitely a lesson to be learned for kids on how to make and spend money responsibly.

Best Babysitters Ever is inspired by The Babysitters Club series.  Even if you have never read the original inspiration, you will love the story! Best Babysitters Ever also features an authentic depiction of friendship with a diverse cast of characters from different ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds.

 

BEST BABYSITTERS EVER

By Caroline Cala

Published by HMH Books for Young Readers

In Stores February 5, 2019

Recommended for ages 10-14

 

A funny new middle grade series about three 12-year-old best friends who start a babysitting club in their small California town. Perfect for fans of series like Whatever After and the Dork Diaries.

Once upon a time, a girl named Kristy Thomas had a great idea: to form The Baby-Sitters Club with her best friends. And now twelve-year-old Malia Twiggs has had a great idea too. Technically, she had Kristy’s idea. (And technically, little kids seem gross and annoying, but a paycheck is a paycheck). After a little convincing, Malia and her friends Dot and Bree start a babysitting club to earn funds for an epic birthday bash. But babysitting definitely isn’t what they thought it would be.

Three friends. No parents. Unlimited snacks. And, okay, occasionally watching other people’s children. What could possibly go wrong?

Comments

  17. I think my daughter would love this book! She really loves To he Babysitter’s Club books. Thanks for the chance to win!

  28. I would love to win this for my youngest sister. I think she would really enjoy it! We could read the book together and I could help her pick out some great stuff with the gift card to pamper her because she deserves it!

  38. I would like to win because who doesn’t love winning. LOL. Also, because this is an awesome prize.

  39. I don’t want to win the Grinch. I want to win “Best Babysitters Ever”. My granddaughter likes the Dork series so I think she’d like this book and she’s at a good age to read it.

  67. The question on the form was about winning the Grinch, but although the contest is for the Babysitters, the same answer will do for both–my granddaughter especially would like the book(s).

  70. I would love to win this for my daughter! She likes the Grinch and she would like this book, too.

  74. I would like to win because I think this would be a great book to share with some pre teens in my life.

  81. Grinch? No. I do want the babysitters book for my niece.

    And does this ends 2/28 like it says or in 10 days like the form says?
    Thanks for the contest.

  86. My daughter is really into this genre right now; as is her twin brother.

  87. I would like to win this book for my daughter who is about the age of babysitting and would get a kick out of it.
