Babyliography CCLII

Ann M. Martin, The Baby-Sitters Club: Claudia and the Phantom Phone Calls

1986 / Ebook / 153 pages

**

Skipped in the graphic novel adaptations, we tried the first, comparatively long chapter for bedtime once, but didn't bother carrying on.


Ann M. Martin and Gabriela Epstein, The Baby-Sitters Club: Good-bye Stacey, Good-bye

2022 / Paperback / 160 pages

**

Still sad, but less devastating after the dog death one.


Ann M. Martin and Chan Chau, The Baby-Sitters Club: Jessi's Secret Language

2022 / Paperback / 160 pages

***

An especially wordy one, whether dispensing useful sign language instruction, emotional support or overly detailed ballet synopses.


Various, Senses: Hearing in Living Things

2000 / Hardback / 32 pages

**

Something boring but educational that showed up in Morrisons library to tick off reading and science home schooling for a couple of sessions, though we mainly added comedy yells and sound effects to the expressive photos.


Ann M. Martin and Cynthia Yuan Cheng, The Baby-Sitters Club: Mary Anne's Bad Luck Mystery

2022 / Paperback / 160 pages

***

We'd been looking forward to Best Baby-Sitter being back in the torchlight, and this charmingly dated and desperately uncreepy tale of cursed chain letters hit the spot.
