5.0 out of 5 stars Go Dawn!, January 29, 2002

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Dawn and the Impossible Three (Baby-Sitters Club) (Hardcover)

I loved this book. Dawn is one of my favorite baby-sitters. In this book she is new to Stoneybrook. She just joined the BSC and made some new friends, including her best friend Mary Anne. But Mary Anne's long-time best friend Kristy is jealous and isn't very nice to Dawn. Dawn wanted to be friends with Kristy and take the big job at the Barretts. Dawn did a good job sitting for the Barretts. The house was a mess, the kids were sloppy and whiney, and Mrs. Barrett is disorganized who never leaves Dawn any directions. But she just went through a divorce and that's why her household is chaotic. I liked the part when she did the cleaning races and when she became friends with Kristy. Toward the end of the book, Buddy Barrett is missing. Dawn started a search party. But it turned out that he went off with his father. Dawn was very brave to speak up to Mrs. Barrett about her disorganized ways.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent reading, July 9, 1996

By A Customer

This review is from: Dawn and the Impossible Three (The Baby-Sitters Club #5) (Paperback)

I thought that the formentioned book was excellent reading. The cross-over plot lines made good reading. This book gives great ideas on how to deal with a parent who is not "holding their part of the bargain". The baby sitters club is a great way to learn how to deal with dificult situations when one is baby-sitting

5.0 out of 5 stars AWSOME!, March 7, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Dawn and the Impossible Three (Baby-Sitters Club) (Hardcover)

This BSC book is really good! It says the children are a handful, but it's really their mother. The mom doesn't tell Dawn her daughter can't eat chocolate, she gives Dawn the wrong number to her work, and leaves her house and children a mess! I really liked this so much that I read it in one day! I hope this review helps!
