Mrs. Chairbottom is watching Stewart for the weekend. But the question is, who's watching Mrs. Chairbottom? Instead of spending a weekend full of freedom and mischief, Stewart must keep his wits about him in order to stay ahead of the troublesome babysitter and her parrot.
Book One of the Babysitter Out of Control! Series
From the Critics:
"Babysitter Out of Control is aimed at young children ready to tackle their first chapter book. The story is quickly paced, and the sentences and dialogue flow nicely. The illustrations are bright, amusing, and interspersed appropriately throughout the book. Recommended." CM: Canadian Review of Materials, May 15th, 2009
