When Jessi's mom goes back to work, Aunt Cecilia moves in with the Ramseys to help out. Jessi is mortified that she has a baby-sitter and can't stand her aunt's bossy ways.
Guess what? The babysitter is coming! That means: 1. Mommy and Daddy are going out. 2. The feisty heroine of this book is not going out. 3. And she doesn’t like that one bit! Parents, kids, and babysitters alike will relate to - and laugh at - this all-too-familiar tale, wisely and wittily penned by an expert in child development and brought wickedly to life with detailed illustrations by a noted New Yorker cartoonist. With warmth, empathy, and a healthy dose of hilarity, Harris and Bliss capture the many emotions children feel when parents go out.
As a concerned adult I found that the advice in this book is the kind of advice I would want my own (older) children to follow. Any babysitter who would follow this guide would show the maturity I would want in a babysitter for my children.
