Kristy and the Mother's Day Surprise

The Baby-Sitters Club, Book 24

By: Ann M. Martin

Narrated by: Brittany Pressley

Mother's Day is coming up and the baby-sitters have the same problem they do every year: What do they get their mothers? Kristy, especially, wants to do something nice for her mom. Mrs. Brewer has been acting kind of strange and secretive lately, and Kristy's worried about her....

But then Kristy gets another one of her great ideas. Why don't the baby-sitters treat their moms - and the mothers of the kids they sit for - to a day off without any kids around? The BSC plans a gigantic baby-sitting party. It's a Mother's Day surprise that couldn't be beat! Until Kristy's mom reveals a very special surprise of her own.

A Very Sweet Story

I am a 2000s baby so I didn’t necessarily grow up with this series. My mom introduced me to it, but even though these were 90s books they are great In my opinion. The narrator also did a lovely job.

Relive your childhood memories

Mother's day blessings for The Babysitter's club. The narrators are amazing here
Kristy runs a day off for Mothers of clients.

Another fine effort

Excellent narration. Great storyline, haven't been to a carnival in years. Great ending, too. A new family member.

Sweet.

This was just a sweet mother appreciation story. There wasn't even any big conflict.

The biggest "bombshell" was Kristy's new adopted sister, who I completely forgot about. Did not recall her at all from reading this series as a kid.

What is funny is that adoption is a long process and the family is interviewed. So no way would Kristy and her siblings been surprised out of the blue. That made me laugh.

What also makes me laugh is that this takes place in May for Mother's Day, and yet the girls won't age. They'll be in the same grade for the rest of the series.

3 out of 5 Moms.
