Customer Reviews

my favourite super special

I remember the day I received this book as a gift from my cousin as an addition to my already huge baby sitters club collection. It was the original copy with the gold cover and the baby sitters club necklace included with it. The baby sitters club are having a sleepover and are remembering their most vivid memories. Kristy talks about her first baby sitting job, Claudia talks about her first art class homework at school, Stacey talks about how badly she was treated when she was diagnosed with diabetes, Dawn talks about the divorce and moving to Stoneybrook, Mallory talks about meeting her favourite book writer, Jessi talks about the birth of squirt, Logan talks about meeting Mary Anne, Mary Anne talks about a fun weekend with her friends, and Shannon talks about a snobby new girl at school. They are all written descriptively and beautifully, my favourite ones to read about were Kristy's, Claudia's, Stacey's, Mallory's and Shannon's. I also like how not long after this book, Ann M Martin started the Portrait Collection BSC books in which each member writes their autobiography, the 8th grade ones anyways.

WONDERFUL BOOK

I very much enjoyed reading this book. Ms. Martin thought of a wonderful idea-- each member of the BSC remembering something that happened in her/his life. This way the author could tell us about each character, but for once not going by a chronological order like she usually does.There were some chapters that I liked more and some chapters that I liked less. For example:I found it strange that when Dawn's parents were getting a divorce, their conversation with Dawn and Jeff was almost identical to the conversation Stacey's parents had with Stacey when they were getting a divorce, back in the book "Welcome Back, Stacey!". It couldn't be (or could it?) that all parents who get divorced say the same thing to their kids, and that all kids whose parents are getting divorced react the same. This is the place for creativity, or else the readers get bored with the same material.Speaking of the same material, there was another disturbing thing in the book. Logan's chapter. Logan described the time when he just met Mary Anne. I believe this story was frightfully unecessary since it is already described in great detail in book #10: "Logan Likes Mary Anne". The only difference is that this time it's from Logan's point of view instead of Mary Anne's.I liked Stacey's chapter. In almost every book she explains about her diabetes, and the awful life in New York when she was first diagnosed with the disease, but only in a few words. In this chapter she gave us the story like it was happening in the present, full with emotions and feelings. I was very sad to see how bad her life was.Kristy had a good chapter, too. She described her first baby-sitting job ever, when she was in the fifth grade. For one thing, she was so adorable as a ten year old! I enjoyed that. Secondly, writing about Kristy's first job is interesting since she's the founder of the club.I also enjoyed reading Jessi's entry. She describes the time when Squirt was born. I liked reading about her life in Oakley, NJ, since she hardly ever talks about it. The author picked a good topic for Jessi because I, for one, am tired of hearing about ballet. I'm also glad Ms. Martin didn't choose to write about the move from Oakley to Stoneybrook because she'd just stick to how her family was run down by the white neighborhood, and them being black. The author chose something special. Mary Anne's chapter was also fun to read. It was a simple story, but nice. And not depressing like about her mother's death, or her father's strictness (much). Mallory's entry was fun , and Claudia's was incredibly touching.I recommend this book. It is wonderful and deserves five stars.

Bought It 2 Times!!!

I loved this book so much, I lost it, then I bought it again! I loved to read Stacey, and Mary-Anne's stories, because they were the stories from when they were not in the Babysitters Club. Mary-Anne tells about when Kristy, Claudia, and her, trick the babysitter, and how she becomes their friend in the end. Stacey's tells about the first time she found out she got diabetes. Buy this book! Our check it out in your library! But if you buy it, it comes with a chain or something! BUY IT!!!

A wonderful book that I recommend to anyone

I really, really loved the book, because the members of the BSC related to their most vivid memories in a most accurate way... huh? you think, in fact, what I mean is that they could remember their most vivid memories in detail. I really like the most vivid memories of Jessi, Shannon, Mary Anne and Kristy. Or should I say, the truth is I like all their vivid memories. Some of the memories were even a bit similiar to mine. Besides the book, I also liked the cover and the pictures. D23H

GREAT

The Baby-Sitters' Remember is the best book! I liked when Mary Anne Krist, and Claudia played tricks on Mrs. Tate Mary Anne's baby-Sitter. I also liked when Kristy 1st baby sat. You should definetaly read this if you want to hear memories of Kristy, Claudia, Mary Anne, Stacey, Dawn, Mallory, Jessi, Shannon, and Logan. Read it quick!!!!!!!!!
