Everyone with a big sister can relate! (

When Nancy is allowed to babysit for an afternoon, Ivy and Bean decide to make her really earn the money. They sneak into the attic to hide, but end up getting stuck, and yell for Nancy to rescue them. (

Loved this. It was hilarious. The mischievous little children and the very funny writing. This is my 6yo's second time around on these books; the first time was a year and a half ago when she was 5/6 and another parent was reading them to her. This time around it's Ada and me reading pages to each other. (

Ivy and Bean are back and they are "taking care" of the baby sitter - Bean's sister, Nancy! It's Nancy's first baby sitting job, and the girls do their best to take advantage of the situation! Again, I don't love their attitudes, but my daughter really likes their adventures. So, on to the next one! (
