Outstanding illustrations
This book is wonderful for small children. I've read it to two and three year olds who love pointing out what all the different babies are doing - but the lovely descriptive storyline would suit older children say 6 or 7 years of age. The book is fairly big (not long) and the illustrations take your breathe away. A beautiful story. ... Read more

I like the book True Bluebecaue it can help with friends.
True Blue (from the sitting pretty series.)

I liked the book True Blue because it taught me to not only look on the the outside to find friends, but also on the inside. It taught me that my friends and I mighthave arguments but we would always be friends. It taught me thatnot to desert them no matter how many new friends I meet.I could meet MichaelJordan and he might not mean half of what my old friends meant to me. Ifyou ever do make this mistake, the thing to do is to apoligize and if theyreally are your friends, in time, they will forgive you. It might take awhile but, the will forgve you. I mean what's the point of losing your bestfriend? ( If one of your friends ever does this to you, you should forgivethem also!)

By for now!Leslie,(grade 6 at St.Peter Central Catholic in Worcester MA) ... Read more

Never Babysit the Hippopotamuses
I enjoyed reading "Never Babysit the Hippopotamuses", to my four year old nephew. He really enjoyed the wacky chain of events in this book. This book enables a small child to really use their imagination. At the end of the story, you can ask the child, if they would rather babysit the Hippo's or their next door neighor the Monkeys? We both liked the colorful illustrations. I would highly recommend this book. ... Read more

Dawn Dawn Dawn
How did Dawn change her mind so fast? In California girls, at the end she learned to like carol and said she wouludn't mind if she married her dad, but in this book, she had a problem with it and she booked her own flight back to connecticut. That was very sneaky of her and it does sound like something rebellious a teengar would do for sure. In fact, I liked that part the best even though I don't agree with what she did. I didn't care for the rest of the book.

GET READY TO THROW SHARP DARTS AT PEOPLE WHO DON'T LIKE DAWN
DAWN ROCKS. She is AWESOME, COOL, and ADMIRABLE for getting on her own flight. That's POSSIBLE. Perhaps sneaking away from problems and stealing from her dad wasn't so good...but every interesting novel has to do with a character making mistakes! Dawn is NOT vain or vapid or self centered or ANYTHING negative AT ALL. She IS THE BEST!!!!! She would NOT make a good target because NO ONE WOULD THROW DARTS AT HER UNLESS THEY WERE SOFT!!! Everyone loves Dawn. I WIN; YOU LOSE. I AM THE ETERNAL VICTOR. DAWN IS ALSO AN ETERNAL VICTOR. END OF STORY.

GET YOUR DART THROWING ARMS READY TO THROW DARTS AT DAWN!
Get your dart throwing arms, ready to throw some sharp darts at Dawn. She is a crybaby and a snotty brat to boot. I don't like the way Kristy jumps on the crybaby train by bellyaching about not having fame and TV coverage like the BSC's West Coast counterpart. Kristy, for all her bravado is a big crybaby too.

I don't like Dawn. I think she is sneaky and self centered. Stealing her dad's credit card and booking a cross country flight was just too cowardly and irresponsible for words. I was glad she got put on the next plane back to California and was made to pay for the two plane tickets. Serves her right. I think she'd make a good bull's eye in the dart board.

Well written but some parts unrealistic
I loved the parts describing California life, but the parts about the club becoming so famous seemed unrealistic. Kristy was a baby about being jealous of them. Also how can Dawn book her own flight back to Connecticut? That was totally irresponsible. I liked Dawn a lot better in the earlier BSC books. Later on she goes from friendly and kind to snotty. She was a coward to try to run away from her problems.

SOOO Unrealistic
Oh please how can some one just sneak away and fly home like that? You can't just go on the plane like that! ... Read more
