The Baby-Sitters Club Portrait Books: Mary Anne's Book

Image
Like all the other BSC members, Mary Anne has to write a biography for class. She recalls her first memory and how it was about her dad coming home from work one day. She also talks about going to nursery school and how Richard sat with her all morning. When he left, she started crying until Kristy came over and made her sit with her and Claudia. I'm assuming that started their whole friendship. Mary Anne then remembers first grade and how they did a tea party for Mother's Day. Their teacher told them that if they didn't have a mother, they could bring someone else. When Mary Anne announces that she'll bring her dad, a bunch of kids laugh at her. Kristy even threatens to punch Alan. Since she already told her dad, she worried about what to do. Eventually though, she decided that he would forget about it and invited Mimi instead. Too bad that Richard really did remember. He shows up just after Mimi, and poor Mary Anne has to tell her teacher what happened

The Baby-Sitters Club #68: Jessi and the Bad Baby-Sitter

Do you remember when Dawn went to California and swore she would be back for good? Well, that comes right before this one. With her gone, the club is short a member and has no alternate officer. They rely on Shannon and Logan more than ever and still need more help. Luckily for them, Jessi has a new friend named Wendy. Wendy comes over and helps her watch her siblings, they hang out in school, and they seem to like each other. Kristy says to bring her to their next meeting. Since she apparently didn't get the memo about being late, she's super slow to get ready, but they still get there in time. It's so busy that no one really explains the rules of the club. Kristy decides to let her sit with Jessi to see how she does before giving her the job. Sitting for the Barrett family goes pretty well. They have to relieve Claudia so she can rush to another job, and Wendy makes them get there 10 minutes late. She's good with kids though and becomes an official member
