I read The Babysitters Club books for the first time many years ago but recently I have been listening to The Babysitters Club Club podcast so I decided to re-read these books along with the podcast episodes. These books may not be the best written books out there but they do have their own appeal in the messages they offer and the friendships and relationships they are written about. This is a good to great chapter book series that for the most part stands up to the test of time. ( )
